Are there any guidelines to posting on the Wiselist?
Aside from a restriction on the size of individual posts, there are no set rules for what may or may not be sent to the Wiselist. That said, you should always remember that the Wiselist is a public forum and that although it is specifically designated for graduate students, some faculty members have access to it. Also, you should be aware that not everybody on the Wiselist has the same network resources. While an HTML post with images may load fine on a fast computer with a broadband connection, the same post may take minutes to load on a slower computer with a modem. As a result, you should post to the Wiselist in plain text and use links to display web content whenever possible. For an excellent overview of the dos and don’ts of communicating with email, we strongly recommend that you review the Yale University Library Email Etiquette Page.
