List Transition; request for list identification in brackets

[Nick Jankowski]

Dear Roy Tennant:

I strongly request that the original identifier of this list, [Web4lib], be
reinstated. Now, postings are received without such identification; given
the volume of posts, lack of an identifier makes is impossible to easily
sort and file contributions.

Thank you.

Nick Jankowski

Subject: List Transition

Dear Web4Lib Subscribers,
I am writing to let you know that this list has now transitioned from
WebJunction to the University of Notre Dame. To send messages to the list
you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu.

In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management software
to LISTSERV [T]. Unfortunately this means any settings you have created will
be lost. However, I'm hopeful that you will find the LISTSERV software easy
to use to recreate the settings you wish to have. When you first connect to
http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need to create a password, but once having
done that, and after confirming it, you will be able to login and manage
your account, including resetting to get the list by digest if you wish.

I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain for
this list, <http://web4lib.org/> which will is your one-stop location to
find information about the list and pointers to the archive, etc. Only the
list itself, and it's future archives, will be hosted by Notre Dame. I am
hosting the hub web site for the list, including the legacy archives.

In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list for a
number of years. I can't remember when I moved it there from UC Berkeley,
but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years ago. We've done
well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the LISTSERV platform where
Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist.
Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful. Thanks, Roy Tennant Web4Lib
