[Sig-l] SIG listservs - you manage yours

[Vaughan, K.T.]

Hi all -
Sorry for all the email this week, we're getting ready for the Annual Meeting and so I'm in full ASIS&T mode!

Before I get into listservs: Sandra is printing up your officers' certificates soon.  Please contact me to make sure I have the correct information to give to Sandra.

Dick Hill wanted me to remind you about the way membership in lists works:
1: When people sign up to be members of your SIG they do NOT automatically get added to the listserv.  HQ got too many complaints from people who did not want to be on the lists.

2: People can sign up to be on a SIG list who are not in the SIG.  Ditto for FB pages, LinkedIn groups, etc.

3: HQ does not manage these lists - YOU DO. If you would like a roster of your members please let Dick Hill know (rhill at asis.org<mailto:rhill at asis.org>).  He's happy to send you the roster.  If you let him know who your listserv administrator should be, he'll send that person the roster AND instructions on how to get into the listserv management system.  The admin can then block copy and paste the roster emails - only people who are not currently subscribed to the list will get added.  Only do this if you're willing to be the contact for people who do not want to be on the list!

4: Implications of 1 & 2: Unless you add new members, your list does not reach all of your members.  You may want to add them so you can publicize events and hold elections online.  People who are not members can read your messages to your membership - including ballots if you go the e-voting route.  Just be aware.

Questions?  Let me know -

SIG Cabinet Director
