Listserv

The STC/SM chapter listserv is available to all members. The listserv is an e-mail mailing list that chapter leaders use to do the following:

• Distribute job postings
• Announce upcoming events
• Distribute TECHcomments (the chapter newsletter)
• Communicate chapter news

However, one of the most important benefits of the chapter listserv is networking and communicating with fellow members on topics related to our profession. For example, when members need advice on a particular tool or a particular idea, they can post messages to the listserv. These messages are sent via e-mail to all members who have joined the listserv. It's a great way to get quick feedback from fellow professionals!

STC/SM listserv e-mail messages contain "[stcsemc-l]" in the subject line. If you have not been receiving e-mails like this, you probably have not signed up to join the listserv.

1. Go to the listserv Web site at http://lists.stc.org/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=stcsemc-l.
2. Click "Join stcsemc-l."
3. Enter your e-mail address in the appropriate field.
Note: Your e-mail address is required for participation in the listserv.
4. If you are not specifying optional information, go to Step 9.
Optional information:
5. Enter your full name in the appropriate field.
6. Select the type and frequency of e-mail messages you would like to receive.
7. Select the option you prefer for viewing your own postings.
8. Select the option you prefer for confirming your own postings.
9. Click "Save."

The chapter listserv manager will review your request. Once your request is approved, you will be notified by the listserv manager. You can then begin sending and receiving listserv messages.

We encourage you to use the listserv to network with other chapter members. However, we ask that you follow a few guidelines before sending messages:

• Do not endorse or promote companies, political parties, or religious groups. Offering your opinion on products or services is fine; advertising them is not.

• Do not provide personal information about members without their express permission. If you need to forward an e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information to another member, be sure to send a message directly to that member.

• Be judicious in what you post to the listserv. Messages and discussions should enhance, not diminish, the value of STC membership. When you reply to a listserv message, everyone in the listserv mailing group receives your response.

• Remove your e-mail address from the listserv if your address changes; then subscribe with your new e-mail address.
