What is a Listserv List?
Lists are a way to create an electronic “space” for people to get together and hear or talk about specific issues. Since Lists are run by electronic mail, members (subscribers) of a List do not have to be online at the same time, or even be in the same area. Sierra Club hosts lists for many different purposes: to send out activist alerts, news and information, to facilitate specific projects, to support certain groups, and to provide a forum for discussion and organization on certain topics, just to name a few.
