[Lswtalk] Libraries Southwest emails

[Erin Chesnutt]

Hi, Anna!

Thanks again for hosting yesterday's meeting. It was great meeting you 
and I'm sorry I couldn't join the group for lunch to have more time to 
chat with everyone.

I wanted to send you a quick note about our email schematic so that you 
can join in and stay "in the know."  I'm CCing both listservs because 
other members still have some confusion about this and may benefit from 
hearing this again.

What a New-Comer needs to know:
Our group started out with a single group email address, lsw at beau.org, 
but quickly realized we would benefit from a second address : one for 
auto-notifications about changes to LSW Card Accounts and one for 
discussion amongst the members.  The 2nd address, lswtalk at beau.org, is 
for discussion.  Since NSU libraries do not accept LSW cards, the 
discussion group would be more suitable for you.  To subscribe, please 
visit  http://beau.org/mailman/listinfo/lswtalk  and follow the 
instructions for subscribing.  Afterward, you should receive a 
confirmation email.  Your subscription will not begin until you confirm.

What "Old Timers" need to know*:
Think of lsw at beau.org as a Card Notification address. This is where so 
many of those emails from "Nobody" go.  All who attend our meetings 
and/or send out reminders and announcements  (Ms Cathy Frank comes to 
mind) to the group should be using lswtalk at beau.org.  Some of you may 
also wish to subscribe to the Card Notification address, if you are 
involved in monitoring LSW cards at your library.

At the beginning of each month, you should receive an email from 
mailman-owner at beau.org telling you which lists you are subscribed to and 
your access information for those lists.

Subscribing / Uncsubscribing for lsw at beau.org  (card notifications) can 
take place at http://beau.org/mailman/listinfo/lsw
Subscribing / Unsubscribing for lswtalk at beau.org  (discussions) can take 
place at http://beau.org/mailman/listinfo/lswtalk

Please let me know if there are further questions.
Side note:  I'm looking into size limits of email body and attachment 
sizes. More info to come...
