"Listserv"is the term used to describe a Cornell University electronic mailing list. The traditional format of a CU listserv address is: organization-l@cornell.edu, where 'organization' can be replaced by any word or acronym. For instance, the AguaClara listserv address is: aguaclara-l@cornell.edu.
Listservs have varying degrees of access in terms of who can send out e-mails and who can add/remove members; some can only be accessed by designated administrators, while others are accessible to anyone who is on the listserv. AguaClara's listserv lies in the middle; only administrators can edit the member list, but all members can send out e-mails.
Because aguaclara-l can be accessed so freely, and because of the number of people who receive e-mails from aguaclara-l, the listserv should be used with discretion. Messages are to be strictly AguaClara-related, and 'Reply All' utilized only when necessary.
The AguaClara listserv can be a useful tool to communicate with all members of the AguaClara team quickly and effectively. If you would like to be added or removed from the listserv, e-mail Julie Pierce at jmp235@cornell.edu.
