We recently polled NIE managers asking what kinds of information they needed. NIE managers said they want a quick, easy way to get information from others who work in the field. They chose the Internet as the preferred venue. This kind of digital communication uses e-mail addresses and is free of charge. You can become a subscriber in one of two ways.
Subscribers can both send and receive messages.
Messages are sent to all the people currently subscribed to the list. By sending mail to just one address, the Listserve makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. All messages or replies sent to the list address are automatically sent to everyone on the list. Any list subscriber can take his or her name off the list at any time. The alias system makes it easier to find those that you want to send mail to.
