[Web4lib] Are e-mail discussion lists still relevant?

[Leo Robert Klein]

You know, it's funny:  At the time I put together the Drupal4lib list 
(way back in 12/2007), a few people commented that it was 'old school' 
and that I was creating/perpetuating yet another 'library silo'.

Within a couple hours of the announcement, we had over 100 subscribers. 
  We doubled that within a couple of days.  I should really check but I 
think we're over 500 at the moment.

Just because it's old doesn't mean it's worn out.  Either that, or 
librarians love their silos.
