GER-JOBS-LISTSERV

Looking for a German position or are you retiring and need someone to take your place? This email list identifies and provides information about teaching positions in German at all levels of instruction. The list is moderated, which means that job listings will be verified for their accuracy before being posted. Subscribers will receive postings with information on available positions.

To subscribe, email listserv@listserv.iupui.edu.
Leave the subject blank.
In the body of the message, type: SUBscribe GER-JOBS-L YourFirstName YourLastName (replace with yours)

Do not include a "signature" if your mail program has that feature. You will receive subscription confirmation, which will give you further information on the AATG Teaching Positions List.

To CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, email listserv@listserv.iupui.edu
Leave the subject blank.
In the body, type: CHANGE GER-JOBS-L your_new_email_address
Replace your_new_email_address with your actual NEW address.

For those with German-teaching positions to announce: Please email the AATG office (headquarters@aatg.org) with position description, teaching level, city and state. Be sure to let us know who applicants should contact, and how (e-mail, phone with area code, etc.) Once verified by AATG, the information will be posted to this list.

Here is a Netiquette Guide assembled by our AATG Treasurer and Listowner, Harry Reichelt.

Reminders for users

  • Don't include the entire original message when you send a reply. (See the paragraphs below on "REPLIES".) Subscribers who do not abide by the noted requirements are put "on review" (i.e., their mail is forwarded to me before it can be submitted to the list for posting), or they are deleted from the list if they continue to resend entire original messages with their replies.
  • Don't let your mailbox reach the "full" status. After several attempts to send mail to your full mailbox, LISTSERV(R) will delete you from the list.
  • Don't submit commercial solicitations. This list is for collegial discourse, not for promoting business.
  • Don't forward messages from other sources, be they from individuals or other lists, unless you have *explicit* permission from the authors or listowners *AND* the message is relevant to the AATG list.
  • Don't send messages about virus alerts, software bugs, etc. The AATG list is for matters about German language, literature, culture, pedagogy and related fields. (There are many lists devoted exclusively to computer issues.)
  • Don't send commands (such as UNSUBscribe, NOMAIL, etc.) to the list. They must be directed to the LISTSERV(R) address (see below).
  • Don't expect LISTSERV(R) to permit you to post to the list if your address changes -- even by one letter. If your current address does not match exactly your subscription address, LISTSERV(R) will not recognize you as a legitimate subscriber. (Resubscribe with your new address.)

After all the "don'ts", here's a "do" reminder:

Remember that you can always contact me for help at itae100@iupui.edu.

Summary of Commands

A final note: If/when you go on vacation, please use SET AATG NOMAIL and then either SET AATG MAIL or SET AATG DIGEST when you return to avoid overflowing your mailbox. A repeatedly "full" mailbox will result in your automatic deletion from the list by LISTSERV(R).

Special thanks to Harry Reichelt, for setting up and maintaining the list!
