Setting Up SLIS-L

The SLIS-L list-serv is a vital part of the SLIS experience. Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of SLIS use SLIS-L to communicate with one another. Class cancellations, building closures, party invitations, job notices, and other critical information is shared via SLIS-L.

To read or post messages on SLIS-L, you must "join the list."

Don't worry, membership is free, and joining is very simple! All you need to do is enter your name and email address into the subscription form below and click "Send."

If you are ready, go to subscribe below.
