A LISTSERV FOR THE LIBRARY STAFF

Introduction An electronic mailing list has been established to facilitate the communication of information among library staff. Its operation will be similar to a nonmoderated list server. Membership is open to any Cornell library staff member. Over 400 employees, including Cornell medical school library employees, have email accounts and are currently eligible to participate. An email account is automatically established when hired.   Email Etiquette Any member of the list will be able to send mail, and it will be received by everyone on the list. Although discussion is encouraged from all departments, it must focus on library related business and issues. Subscribers are asked to use the subject line to describe their message as clearly as possible. Examples of items to be sent include meeting announcements, workshop announcements, posting of agendas and minutes, cancellation notifications, staff and administrative information-including job openings, and discussion on library-related issues. Once you subscribe to the list, you will be responsible for logging on to your account, reading, and deleting your mail on a regular basis. It is hard to predict how much mail you will receive; this depends on all of the users.   To Subscribe To subscribe, send mail to LISTPROC@CORNELL.EDU saying: SUBSCRIBE CU-LIB First Name Last Name (be sure to substitute YOUR name for the above)   To Unsubscribe To unsubscribe, send mail to LISTPROC@CORNELL.EDU  saying: UNSUB CU-LIB (it is not necessary to include your name here)   To Send Messages to CU-LIB To send a message, address mail to CU-LIB@CORNELL.EDU (not to listserv@cornell.edu). Be sure to include a topic on the subject line to help users determine the content of the message. It will then be distributed to everyone on the list. If you need assistance using email, contact Lyndsi Prignon (5-9560) or the CIT HelpDesk (5-8990).
