ListServ:  These are e-mail lists like Econ-Grads.  Sending an e-mail to the list means that everyone on the list receives the e-mail.  The convenience of these lists are that only the list owner needs to keep track of who is on the list.  Managing of listserv lists is done entirely by e-mail.  A student may create a listserv list with the approval of a faculty sponsor.

Dissertation Format:  The following TEX file can be opened in Scientific Word and by using cut and paste for the Chapter Titles, Section Titles and Bodies of your papers, you should find that you have a document that meets UCLA Dissertation requirements.  (While at least one person swears by this method, this is shareware so there are no promises that the document won't need some "tweaking.")
