Many user groups and individuals publish newsletters. The user group letters contain news about the group, its activities, programs, members, etc., but the main focus of all the newsletters is the exchange of information, programs, programming techniques, tutorials, product information, and user experiences. Some also accept advertising. They are usually mimeographed or offset printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper (full size) or 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (half size).
The newsletters that we know about are listed below in alphabetical order by name. The name and address of the publisher or sponsoring group follow. The size (full or half), the number of pages (this is approximate and often varies), number of issues per year/ annual subscription rate for U.S. residents (the cost of most group newsletters is included in group dues) are given where known.
