Are there e-mail discussion groups for librarians?
Usenet may be drowning in a sea of flames, spam and porn (and flames about spammed porn), but engaging, intelligent discussions can still be found on private e-mail discussion groups. Some examples are: • Autocat is an electronic forum for the discussion of all questions relating to cataloging and authority control in libraries. http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/cts/autocat/ • Libsoft is devoted to discussing software of particular interest to librarians. http://www.orst.edu/groups/libsoft/ • NewJour is the New Journal and Newsletter Announcement List for new serials on the Internet. http://gort.ucsd.edu/newjour/ • Newlib-l is a discussion list for librarians new to the profession who wish to share experiences and discuss ideas, issues, trends, and problems faced by librarians in the early stages of their careers. This list is also of interest to those who are considering becoming librarians, and to those established in the profession who might wish to mentor newcomers. http://w
