Re: [LM_NET] add me to the list-serv - LM_NET Subscription Options

[Michelle Walker <michellekwalker@GMAIL.COM>]

Barbara and any of our LM_NET colleagues who may be ready to get back
in the swing of things with LM_NET for the new school year,

Welcome to a new school year!  Now is a great time to review your
LM_NET account settings and make any needed changes to your
subscription to get you rolling for the year ahead.  We have several
options available - simply choose how you'd like to participate.
We're glad to have you aboard, and here's to a great school year!

By the way, we always have room for more, so if you know of a school
library colleague who's missing out on LM_NET, feel free to forward
this message along and invite them on board.

LM_NET SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS:

LM_NET "straight up":  As a traditional member, you receive every
LM_NET message sent directly to your inbox.
Advantages: This allows you to receive every message and respond to
LM_NET discussions immediately.
Considerations: The amount of mail may be as many as 75 messages a day.
Get it: Send an e-mail message to:  LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU. In the
first line of the message, type: SUBSCRIBE LM_NET Firstname Lastname
(ex. SUBSCRIBE LM_NET Jane Smith)

NOMAIL:  You are still an LM_NET member and can post to the group, but
LM_NET messages are not sent to you.
Advantages: You can still post to the group when you wish to share or
TARGET information.  A good option for holidays or times when you
can't handle the volume of messages.
Considerations:  When posting, you will need to have members respond
to you off-list since you will not receive LM_NET posts.
Get it:  First, subscribe to LM_NET (above).  Send a second e-mail message to:
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU. In the first line of the message, type: SET
LM_NET NOMAIL

DIGEST: Receive every message, but messages are compiled so you
receive fewer emails in your inbox.
Advantages: You still receive every message in a timely manner with a
lighter inbox.
Considerations: Must read through DIGEST messages to find topics of
interest to you.
Get it:  After subscribing to LM_NET (above), send an email message to:
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU. In the first line of the message, type
SET LM_NET DIGEST

EL-ANNOUNCE with LM_NET SELECT:  Receive a selection of the most
informative LM_NET posts and hottest discussions with a splash of
LM_NET humor compiled into thrice-weekly emails.
Advantages: Receive only the most informative LM_NET posts (Targets
and off-topic posts are weeded out).  Posts are organized into threads
for you.
Considerations:   Be sure to subscribe to LM_NET as NOMAIL so that you
can still post to the group.  LM_NET Select is available via a
separate subscription to El-Announce which is made possible by vendor
support.  All vendors are notable school library vendors who share
special offers and information with El-Announce subscribers.  Expect a
small number of emails from vendors with this subscription.
Get it:  Visit http://lm-net.info/join.html and enter your email
address.  It is highly advised that you also join LM_NET and then set
your account to NOMAIL (above).

ARCHIVES:  Anytime searchable access to all past LM_NET messages.
Advantages:  A good way to find that post you deleted but now need.
Also a good way for NOMAIL members to still read posts.
Considerations: Messages appear in the archives the morning after they
are posted to the group.
Get it: Visit http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/archive/

And for those members who may be set to NOMAIL and using one of our
lighter options for the summer, you can reset your account to receive
all LM_NET messages again by sending an email to
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU. In the first line of the message, type: SET
LM_NET MAIL
