List Serv 101

[Guest guest]

I've had several questions about how this works - so here is a bit of

information.

I Hope this helps you understand list serv technology.

USING A LISTSERV or MAIL DISCUSSION GROUP

What is a listserv discussion group?

A listserv discussion group permits you to:

o network with colleagues,

o quickly resolve problems and seek

solutions,

o seek advice or answers and get responses

quickly,

o monitor news or developments not easily

obtained,

o read only (lurk),

o actively participate in discussions.

How does a listserv discussion group work?

A listserv discussion group functions much like a large bulletin board in

a busy household. You pin up (post) a message, and everyone who comes by

can read it. If they have a response, they pin up (post) another message.

Many people can participate. Information is shared by many people at one

resource.

Technically speaking, the computer which controls your e-mail is equipped

with special software which allows the computer to manage mail that has

certain commands built in and distribute it accordingly. In order for you

to be a part of the discussion group, you must subscribe to the list.

This is done through your mail system. After you subscribe, you will

begin receiving all messages posted to the group through your e-mail.
