[Sigmetrics] important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform!!!

Tue Feb 27 15:12:33 EST 2018

I think the proposal is to have a SIG, that has memberships, that has events at ASIST meetings… and to also have a listserv that is part of a much larger community of interest.  I would prefer some university or non-profit host to either Yahoo or Google, but I think it should be discussed as a group so we all end up the same place and a place where everyone feels comfortable.

What I wonder is if SIGMetrics isn’t an ASIS&T SIG, if we can still have the workshop that goes along with the meeting. I’ve found this the most valuable part of the annual meeting for several years now—but if the SIG isn’t part of ASIS&T, this may not be possible—unless there are two interdigitated groups—an ASIS&T SIG and another group, with a membership overlap.

Dear David,

Fine with me. Let's leave the prerogative with the current list-administrators. If they prefer one of us to do this (for whatever reason), we can move swiftly. I copied the membership list for the good order.

Best,
Loet

Or a Yahoo! group, which I have personal experience with. The owner or moderator can pretty easily enter a starting list of members, in this case the Sigmetrics members. New membership can then be by approval or open, and the messages can be set up as publicly viewable or only by members. It is simple and flexible.

Dear all,

To summerize, ASIST has decided to close down all the listservs of the different special interest groups (including Sig Metrics) and replace themÂ with community platform (basically a discussion forum) on the ASIST website that requires users to login (and thus be members of ASIST). As Christina said, this is a shame since our listservs has more than a thousand members and contributors, many of which are not members of ASIST or Sig Metrics. As she also pointed out, I think we should look for an alternative solution to maintain this communication channel open and relatively free of organizational constraints (perhaps a google group?). Your suggestions are most welcome.

All the best,

Hi, same question here.Â
ASIST membership is mandatory to join SIG/MET…?
ASSIST membership is USD140/year…?

Quoting "Smalheiser, Neil R" <neils at uic.edu<mailto:neils at uic.edu>>:

This is an important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform.
Â
Â
Â
Â
If you are a member who has lapsed their SIG MET membership, you still receive the listserv as of now -- but once the listserv is migrated to a new platform (very soon!), you will lose all further communications from us. So please consider renewing your membership if you have lapsed.Â
