There will be one on my blog up one of these days. <br /><br />A co-worker recently went to a webinar on information overload, and the presenter (Sarah Houghton-Jan, the Librarian in Black) mentioned that she thought listservs were going the way of the dinosaur. So your take is interesting.<br /><br />I subscribe to OPLIN (the listserv for Ohio public libraries), PUBLIB-L and Fiction-L. They're all pretty good. I like the digest versions - if there is pointless arguing (especially on Publib) I hit delete.Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17089762130217570280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061870849031468581.post-42579059102360357612011-06-30T08:55:21.079-04:002011-06-30T08:55:21.079-04:00I find both Twitter and listservs essential to sta...I find both Twitter and listservs essential to staying updated about library issues.<br /><br />For health sciences & hospital librarians, MEDLIB is absolutely key. Help with tough reference questions, obtaining ILLs not available through the national system (docline), and interesting discussion on the latest topics relevant to the field. <br /><br />Link: http://list.uvm.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=MEDLIB-LSarah Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678315203625764874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061870849031468581.post-24915022015901745602011-06-29T16:13:42.175-04:002011-06-29T16:13:42.175-04:00I've recently joined my first listserv, PubYac...I've recently joined my first listserv, PubYac, which seems fairly active. I wish the format were a little friendlier, but it's been great already. I will have to look into some of the ones you listed though, esp. Fiction-L I think. <br /><br />Thanks!Ms. Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093580866958106241noreply@blogger.com
