Typical postings include news, policy & funding information, conference and job adverts.

Three levels of service...

• Individual news e-mails; Get each news item as a separate e-mail.
  Ideal for Information workers who need to forward different information to different people, or for easy filing by subject. This is the default subscription for each service
• Daily Digest; One single larger e-mail each day, combining all of the news items including a brief list of contents. Good for the busy user who just wishes to skim the information.
  Request this option by e-mailing office@regionalforum.org.uk
• Web-based Information & Archive Service; On-line access to all of the news items in the database. Ideal for those who don't want e-mails but occasionally like to browse the messages or for anyone else to access the information archives.
  Request further information and instructions on setting up this option by e-mailing office@regionalforum.org.uk
