Two Florida Library E-mail Lists

Faye Roberts, FLA Executive Director, shared this recently and I thought I'd pass it on.

As a member of Florida’s library community, you should know about two email listservs. Are you on both?

This message is coming to you from the FLA email listserv, a service for members of the Florida Library Association. The FLA list is an unmoderated list for the discussion of issues relating to the Florida Library Association, libraries in Florida, and libraries in general. Subscribers may receive messages posted to it individually or in digest form.

A second listserv, fl-lib, is managed by the State Library and Archives of Florida. This list is devoted to messages and discussions relating to the library community in Florida. Participation in the list is open to anyone, anywhere. All library staff are encouraged to subscribe to the list.

Recently, the server supporting fl-lib had to be replaced and the original subscriber list could not be restored. If you were on this list, or if you’d like to join it, read the message below from Marian Deeney.

Recently, the server that supports the State Library and Archives’ e-mail distribution lists crashed. We need to recreate and rebuild the various library lists that are used for announcements and messages to the library community.

We need your assistance to rebuild the subscriber list for the fl-lib listserv. We were unable to recreate the subscriber list to fl-lib, and as a result, we need all of you to re-subscribe to fl-lib.

The fl-lib listserv is a service provided by the State Library and Archives of Florida. It is devoted to messages and discussions relating to the library community in Florida. Participation in the list is open to anyone, anywhere. Membership is not required.

This list is used to post announcements from the State Library and Archives, funding opportunities for libraries, e-rate information, questions from library staff on services and programs, etc. It is not designed for vendors to promote their products.

Fl-lib is not a moderated list; however, you must subscribe to the list to post messages.

To subscribe to the list, go to https://list.dos.state.fl.us/mailman/listinfo/fl-lib. Follow the instructions to subscribe.

If you have any questions, please contact the list facilitator, Marian Deeney, at mdeeney@dos.state.fl.us or (850) 245-6620.
