All past discussion on CCBC-Net is available to subscribers through the CCBC-Net Archives. The Archives are indexed monthly by date. Since we have followed the pattern of discussing one topic each month, it is easy to retrieve the past discussion for a particular book, author or subject. To make this process a little easier, I have indexed the Archives, followed by step-by-step instructions on how to retrieve the file(s) you want.

                  *Index to the CCBC-Net Archives*

                *How to Retrieve a File*

Each file contains the postings for an entire month. To retrieve a file, send a message that looks like this:
  TO: IN%:listserv at ccbc.soemadison.wisc.edu
  SUBJECT: get ccbc-net

For example, if you want to retrieve all of the discussion of "Walk Two Moons," enter the subject line:
             
           get CCBC-Net 07.1995

This will bring up ALL messages that were sent to CCBC-Net in July 1995, most of which were part of a discussion of "Walk Two Moons." In addition, in some cases, one month's discussion spilled into the beginning part of the following month, so you might find a bit more
"Walk Two Moons" discussion at the beginning of August if you retrieved that file as well (get CCBC-Net 0895).

I will repeat these instructions, along with an updated Archives Index, every few months for the benefit of new subscribers. In the meantime, happy reading!
