GSLIS ACCOUNT
Philip Doty and R. E. Wyllys

Assignment Title: Establish GSLIS Account and Provide Email Addresses.

Participation: Individual.

Format: Email.

Submission Method: Email to course emailbox.

Maximum points: Part of course participation.

Introduction: Several assignments in this course require you to have a GSLIS account and to use it, so that you will gain experience in working in a Unix-based environment, setting up Webpages, and uploading and downloading files. This assignment provides an opportunity for you to gain some knowledge of the account early on and to set up class email to your preferred address. The GSLIS account is where you will post your Web pages and experiment with Pine, which is the Unix-based GSLIS email system. You may also set up an email account with the University of Texas at Austin (viz., mail.utexas.edu). If you choose, you may automatically forward mail from either or both of these accounts to your preferred email address.

Goals: The goals of this assignment are twofold:

• To familiarize you with the GSLIS Website and the individual GSLIS account that will be used for various assignments.
  
  
• To provide the TA with your GSLIS account and preferred email addresses (they do not need to be the same).

Tasks: For this assignment, you will:

1. Establish a GSLIS account using instructions provided in the GSLIS Website. (Direct links are provided on the course Syllabus page in case you have difficulty in navigating the GSLIS Website.)
   
   
2. Send an email message to the course emailbox providing your name, your location (Austin, El Paso, San Antonio, Waco, etc.), your GSLIS account email address, and your preferred email account (which may be either the GSLIS account or any other email account of your choice).
