Email Discussion Lists

Email discussion lists can keep you in touch with the latest news in public libraries as well as providing a forum in which you can often voice opinions, ideas or ask questions to members of the list you join.

One way to find out about email discussion lists in use is to visit the Jiscmail homepage. JISCmail is a mailing list service sponsored by the JISC, for the UK Higher and Further Education communities, enabling members to stay in touch and share information by email or via the web.
