LM_NET Archive



AMEN! LM_NET has been my lifesaver. I first learned of it after I copied all of 
Peter's website,(all without permission). I thought everything on websites was free 
reign. When I found out differently, I e-mailed him and apologized. Not only did he 
forgive me, he gave me permission to copy anything I wanted. He also told me about 
LM_NET. He has inspired me to take classes I never thought I'd take. I will be  
attending my first library conference, CSLA in November and guess what? Peter is 
presenting. Aren't I lucky? 
So thank you, and good luck. Just keep an eye us!
I appreciate all your hard work and everything you have done and will continue to 
do, so we can serve our students.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] THANKS PETER AND MIKE!



By all means THANK YOU.  Retirement activities?  Are you scared?  Okay not really, 
but it kind of scary to think of LM_NET w/o Peter and Mike at the helm.

  Introduction to the new team was very good, and I feel better already knowing 
more about them.  Change is never easy (and boy do we have enough of it), but I 
know LM_NET will transition nicely.  We all love it and will work for continued 
success.

  Success to Mike and Peter as well!!

  The vision you had to start this group is just amazing! We thank you for your 
vision and what it has given all of us these 15 years.

It is very difficult to put into words how this group, this connection to people 
and information made my job as the lone T-L in a small isolated school district 
feel like I wasn't alone, that I actually had at my fingertips the best support 
group ever! I didn't have to wait to talk to somebody; all I had to do was send a 
message and in a few minutes a plethora of ideas and answers were waiting for me.

Now, with all of us working together, we keep each other information literate - 
ahead of the curve usually. The sharing that goes on is just amazing and I for one 
would be lost without it.

Thank you!

Subject: Transition at LM_NET and also at EL-Announce With LM_NET Select

Dear LM_NET members and friends -

We believe that LM_NET is the most successful electronic network in the
history of the Internet. Of course, there is no formal assessment of this
kind, but anyone who has examined LM_NET is highly impressed with the
quality of discourse as well as the sheer volume of members and messages.
Simply put, LM_NET is extraordinary. When we started LM_NET 15 years
ago, (with less than 100 members in June 1992) we had no idea that it
would prove to be so valuable and far-reaching. This is a credit to all
of us.

It is highly appropriate that we look to the next phase of LM_NET. After
15 years, it is time for us (Peter and Mike) to step back. We (Peter
Milbury and Mike Eisenberg, LM_NET co-founders and co-moderators), are
pleased to announce the transition to a new team of co-moderators for
both LM_NET and its affiliate, EL-Announce With LM_NET Select. We will
stay involved as advisors and "co-moderators" emeritus, but the the
transition to the new team will take place starting immediately.

The team will be comprised of three co-moderators who have been long-time,
close associates of either Mike or Peter, and who have had long-time
associations with LM_NET. The new co-moderators are Blythe Bennett,
Michelle Walker and Sue Wurster. Each will focus on various roles needed
to operate and support the two list servers.

Michelle Walker will serve as the "public" moderator of LM_NET, assisting,
guiding and supporting the membership in with a regular, visible
presence. She will continue with her LM_NET Select publications, now
posting them directly to EL-Announce With LM_NET Select.

Blythe Benett will serve in a "behind the scenes" role as Tech Support
Moderator for both LM_NET and EL-Announce With LM_NET Select, approving
message postings from members on "review" status, assisting those who are
having difficulty singing on/off, and helping with a variety of other
technical problems.

Sue Wurster will also serve in a "behind the scenes" role as Moderator for
EL-Announce With LM_NET Select matters, developing and upgrading the
EL-Announce Website, adapting to new online technologies, serving as
vendor liaison, working with Internet service providers and overseeing
financial matters.

Blythe is well-known in library media circles as a manager in AskERIC and
the KidsConnect Q&A service. She works at Syracuse University in the
School of Information Studies as the Assistant Director of the School
Media Program.

Sue Wurster is currently executive manager of Big6 Associates. She worked
at the Information Institute of Syracuse and the ERIC Clearinghouse as
Publications Manager.

Michelle Walker is a credentialed California Library Media Teacher,
currently employed as Librarian/Technology Coordinator at Hamilton High
School in Hamilton City, CA, a California Distinguished School. For the
past seven years Michelle has made the selections for the thrice weekly
publication, LM_NET Select. In that role she has read every LM_NET message
posted, and selected those for publication in collaboration with LM_NET
Moderator, Peter Milbury. Walker is also co-author of The Best of LM_NET
Select 2001, a Linworth Publication.

As noted, both Peter and Mike will serve as Moderators Emeritus, working
closely with the new team of moderators during the transition period.
They are both looking forward to having more time to enjoy various
aspects of retirement and other activities.

It's been a great ride! It's not easy to turn over your "baby," but we
have full and complete confidence in the new team. PLEASE welcome and
help them. LM_NET is simply the best - and we want to ensure that it
remains that way.

Respectfully,

Peter and Mike
LM_NET Co-Founders and Moderators
