What is a Listserv? 

We use Google Groups as our listserv for communicating with other people who have requested to join the same group. This is a tool for you to ask/answer questions, share and communicate with others! Using email, you can send and receive posts pertaining to your topics of interest. You may view and search the archives of posts by going to the group’s webpage. You are also able to manage your account settings to change the frequency of the emails.

Our Protocol

To ensure listserv members have a positive experience, here are some basic guidelines to help experienced and new members. This document will be sent out periodically to the list as a friendly reminder of proper etiquette.

List Archives

The archive allows you to go back and view the messages again. It is a helpful tool when looking for a thread of the discussion. To access the archive, go to the group’s webpage if you have bookmarked it or go to groups.google.com and click on the menu item that says My Groups. Click on the name of the group to find its webpage.

Managing Your Account

As a member of these groups, you can update/change your settings as needed. You can change your settings to get one email update per day or other timeframe, or get them as they are sent. Take a look around at the settings to see if you want to make any changes that make it more efficient for your needs.
