Dear LM_NET Colleagues, LM_NET has moved to a policy of required identification within all messages posted to LM_NET. Please start the habit of including identification in all messages posted to LM_NET. You should be sure to include your: 1. Name 2. Occupation/Job Title/Worksite 3. e-mail address Example: Jo Booksworth, Librarian Best Elementary, Bestville, CA JBOOKSWORTH@BEST.K12.CA.US Reasons (in addition to common courtesy): The number of unsigned messages has been growing, and many appear to be unrelated to the purposes of LM_NET. The address at the top of the header doesn't identify if the person is supposed to be on LM_NET (i.e., school librarian or related type). If a person does not belong on LM_NET, and posts inappropriate questions, it gives us a way to know if we should filter them out. Also, due to characteristics of their e-mail software, many people don't see the person's return address in their e-mail header, so they must unnecessarily reply to the entire group. With 7,000+ members, and 70+ messages a day being posted, we don't want to have many inappropriate messages posted, especially from those who are not in our intended audience. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Peter Milbury, Co-owner of LM_NET pmilbury@ericir.syr.edu Now With 7,000+ Members See: http://ericir.syr.edu/lm_net/ .................................................................
