New ARLIS-CA Listserv

Below is some information of interest to ARLIS/NA Northern & Southern California Chapter members.

We now have a new listserv that is hosted by ARLIS/NA. Everyone who was a subscriber to the previously active CSU East Bay listserv has been automatically signed up with the new one, so no need to re-subscribe! However, newer Northern and Southern California Chapter members may want to take advantage now and subscribe to the new listserv.

Please see the "how-to" list below for further information regarding the new listserv. If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the co-moderators: Greg Borman bormang2@gmail.com (Northern California Chapter), or Krista Ivy krista.ivy@ucr.edu (Southern California Chapter).

Big thanks go out to Liz Ginno, who moderated the former CSU East Bay listserv!

Sincerely,

Greg Borman
Secretary/Treasurer
ARLIS/NA Northern California Chapter

Krista Ivy
Chair
ARLIS/NA Southern California Chapter

How to Temporarily Stop Receiving Listserv Postings

It is proper listserv etiquette to set your subscription on nomail when you will be away from your office for an extended period of time.

Those who want to read the listserv mail they missed while away can do so through the archives.

1. Send an email message to listserv@lsv.arlisna.org with the subject line blank.

   SET ARLIS-CA NOMAIL
