e-Forum Instructions

If you’re not familiar with the format, we’re using the Core e-Forum model, which provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-Forum discussion list. The e-Forum discussion list works like an email mailing list:

The Core e-Forum list is moving to a new discussion list platform called Groups.io.

Please take a moment to subscribe to the new list by sending an email to core-eforum+subscribe@groups.io. Your message can be empty. Your request will be approved within 1-2 business days. You will receive a welcome email from groups.io with instructions on how to create a user account to manage your notification settings.
