Listservs

E-mail istservs are central to the cataloging community. You can subscribe to the "digest" version (messages are grouped together rather than received individually) to minimize the number of e-mail messages you receive, or even subscribe but set a list to "nomail" and read messages on the online archives. You must be a subscriber to post messages or to access the online archives.
