FORMATS

The list is available in both reflector and digest formats.  Unless you specify otherwise, you will receive your messages "reflector" (i.e., one at a time, as they are sent out).  Digest format bundles the day's messages and beams them out no more than once per day.  While you will gain the advantage of having only one post per day, you will lose the immediacy that some posts require.  If you prefer to receive the digest format, please request a format change by mailing to:  listserv@sreb.org or mary.larson@sreb.org.


WHAT CAN I POST TO THE LIST?

Please follow these guidelines:

Please keep your messages Electronic Campus related.  We do allow occasional off-topic posts, but remember that subscribers to this list want to explore ideas related to the Electronic Campus.   Off-topic posts detract from the list’s intended purpose.

Do not post binary attachments, Word documents, or HTML code to the list.  These things clutter the list, make it hard to read, and balloon messages to an *enormous* size!  If you have a document to share, please post a URL or send it privately to those whom request it.

Do not post virus warnings or spam to the list.

Avoid posts that include copies of entire messages (or even worse, the entire digest).  If you are receiving in digest mode, please make sure your response is topic specific.

No flames or insults *EVER*.  Flames and insults to other list members will not be tolerated.  You can disagree with someone or be angry with him or her and remain respectful.  Bold or capitalized words and sentences in posts typically are interpreted as emphasizing a point strongly.

Along these lines we'd also like to ask you to: reread your e-mail before you send it. and if there's anything that is critical of someone, please send it privately.

Do post news about upcoming meetings or events that may be of interest to the coordinators.

When responding to a post consider sending a private message to the poster.  Ask yourself whether your response contains information/ideas/thoughts of interest to the list at large.  If your response is significant only to a few people, please consider sending privately to those people

Please remember that e-mail is an imperfect medium as a means of expression.  If a comment seems insulting to you, try to approach it from the perspective that perhaps the insult was not intended.

Please familiarize yourself with our posting guidelines and keep a copy of these procedures for reference as needed.

This listserv will not be archived.  Therefore, please keep personal copies of what you think is important.

Messages related to administration (subscribe/unsubscribe requests, problems receiving mail, questions about how the list is run, etc.) always should be directed to listserv@sreb.org or mary.larson@sreb.org.

As your hosts, we ask that you respect our efforts and adhere to our guidelines.  Please save these guidelines.

Thank you very much!
