Passwords
In order to use the web interface to join or leave a list, change your
list settings or post a message, you must first create a password for
your mailing list account. Please note that your email list account is
separate from your Desktop on the Web account. This means that the
password you choose for your mailing list account will not affect the
password of your Desktop account.

Create or change your mailing list password (even if you have forgotten
your password) <http://listserv.loc.gov/cgi-bin/wa?GETPW1>

After you have selected your password, you will receive a confirmation
notice by email. Your new password will not take effect until you have
responded to this confirmation notice.

Educat Discussion List
The "educat" discussion list is available in both regular and digest
form. Every time a new message is sent to educat, it is forwarded to all
list subscribers. Alternately, you can receive the messages in a single
daily message. In that case, all of the messages that have been sent to
the list in the past 24 hours are combined and mailed to you as a single
email. That way, you receive a single email instead of several separate
messages.

In order to receive the educat in digest form, you must already be a
subscriber. Once you have subscribed, you can select the digest option
using either the web interface (using the "change settings" link, below)
or by sending the appropriate command via email (see below).
