Listservs
Talk to other librarians and staff by joining one or more of our listservs.
Exchange
The "Exchange" list is the list you'll want to be a member of if you
like to get messages about book giveaways, job postings, and questions
from your fellow librarians around IHLS. This list is completely
voluntary, but we expect it to have a high membership since this will
be the primary place for our libraries to talk with each other. Very
little email will come from IHLS staff to this list. The primary
people who will post to this list are our libraries.
You
must be a member of this list in order to post to this list. Be sure
to subscribe with the email address that you will use to post emails
from. For example, if you have a school email address and a personal
email address, make sure you subscribe with the email address that you
will use to send messages to the list (or just subscribe with both!)

Only authorized SHARE staff are able to post to
this list, so you won't be overloaded with messaged from this list.

information.
On this list, you are encouraged to post tips,
request information, and receive messages from SHARE staff about SHARE
topics, the Polaris software, and related subjects.
