Listservs

ISAS listservs foster discussion about professional issues and concerns and are available to ISAS member schools only. For listservs, send questions or comments to a group by using the applicable e-mail address.

Note: Remember that clicking “reply to all” to a listserv e-mail will send the reply to all subscribers of the listserv, not just the originator of the e-mail.

Listserv Etiquette

  • Include a signature tag on all messages. Include your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address.
  • State clearly the specific topic of the comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond appropriately and allows for automatic message archiving.
  • Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information from which everyone can benefit. On listservs, send messages such as "Thanks for the information" or "I want a copy too" to individuals -- not to the entire list. Do this by forwarding the message, then typing in the e-mail address of the individual to whom you want to respond.
  • Do not send messages requesting compensation/salary information to listservs!
  • Do not send messages to the list regarding job openings. These may be posted on the Position Listings page of the ISAS website.
  • Do not send or post administrative messages such as "Remove me from the list/group" to the list/group. Instead, contact webmaster@isasw.org
  • Restrict discussions to topics best suited to the medium.
  • Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply, delete any header or footer information, and put your response before the original posting. Do not include entire digests in your response.
