As of May 1998, there were about 40 people on the list, which generates only about 5 posts per month. Any subscribers can post, and the list is unmoderated. They use the listserve to discuss problems and solutions for club issues. We hope the listserv will encourage club volunteers who live in geographically separate regions to share information about the planning of these events in order to help all volunteers who do this work. The factors identified as having impeded the success of this Internet discussion group is lack of postings from volunteers.
Members can automatically subscribe to the group.
As of May 1998, there were about 1,000 people on the list, which generates only a few posts a month. The group is moderated, so off-topic posts don't make it to the list. Volunteers from all over the world use the list to find books, proofreaders, copyright info, scanning, etc. The group is unmoderated, but since only leaders of the group's committees know about the list, Michael says there's not a problem with off-topic posts. The Centre also has a different listserv that serves as its issues discussion group for volunteers.
