[LM_NET] REMINDER: Changing your LM_NET settings

[Michelle Walker <michellekwalker@GMAIL.COM>]

This is just a friendly reminder of the various subscription options
available to you.  With the winter holiday just around the corner,
many of our members decide to lighten up their inboxes while they are
vacationing.   Please remember that commands to the listserv to change
your subscription settings are made to a different address than the
one we use to post to the group.  All changes should be emailed to
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU using the appropriate commands below.
Instructions for many of our settings can also be found at the bottom
of every LM_NET message.

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.
