CHAPTER DISCUSSION LIST

Our chapter began its email discussion list in September 2000 as a means to improve distribution of news, announcements and information related to chapter business. Members are able to discuss "hot" topics, submit inquiries to colleagues and post information of professional interest.

TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE LIST:
Send the following command to lists@lists.sla.org:

subscribe sla-cpit email_address firstname lastname

Example:
subscribe sla-cpit john123@hotmail.com John Smith

- No subject line is needed in the email message.
-
You will receive a confirmation message once you are subscribed.


POSTING MESSAGES TO THE LIST:
Once you are subscribed, you can post messages to the list by sending an email to sla-cpit@lists.sla.org.

When posting, please clearly identify the topic of your message in the subject line and repeat your e-mail address at the end of your message (if you don't have a signature file).


UNSUBSCRIBING TO THE LIST:
To unsubscribe to the list, send the following command to lists@lists.sla.org
Note: The address for unsubscribing is different from the one you use to post messages

unsubscribe sla-cpit email_address

Example:
unsubscribe sla-cpit john123@hotmail.com

A message will be sent back to you acknowledging that you are unsubscribed from the list.


User Guidelines for Pittsburgh Chapter Discussion List

* The discussion list should be used for legitimate business purposes of the Special Libraries Association's Pittsburgh Chapter

* Appropriate postings include job openings, questions about products, discussions of ideas, expression of professional opinions, posting links to useful sites, coordinating rides to and from local chapter and national meetings

* Posting product advertisements is NOT appropriate. However, responses by commercial representatives to questions about the content or features of their products are welcomed and encouraged.

* Please refrain from posting of jokes, chain letters, and "I'm looking for a good tailor"-type inquiries; likewise, RSVP's should be answered outside the list

* Copyrighted materials should not be posted on the discussion list without the permission of the copyright holder(s)

* Don't flame (criticize another member of the list) on the discussion list. You should not send or respond to a "flaming" message
