More info ausculture-newsletter is our free email newsletter bringing you the latest on culture, recreation and online issues. The popularity of distribution and discussion lists, which are also referred to as mailing lists, is increasing, and to some extent they are supplanting newsgroups.
Distribution lists A distribution list is for dissemination of information by the list organiser.
It does not allow your messages to be posted to the others on the list. Distribution lists can take the form of an 'announce' list where announcements about product launches, events, staff notices or information of importance to the organisation is posted to the recipients. This could be used, for example, to promote such things as your website, or advertise new products or performances, or specials in the gift shop. Recipients usually receive the newsletter as an email, but there is now software which enables the user to receive an HTML page including links to websites. You will discover the latest from Australia's Cultural Network as well as emerging Internet and Web technologies.
