  • 1.  ACRL Technical Services IG - Switching Sympa Discussion Lists to ALA Connect Discussions by August 1

    Posted Jul 02, 2020 05:22 PM

    Dear TSIG members,

     

    Starting August 1, 2020, we will be migrating our TSIG email communications from Sympa to ALA Connect to better manage conversations, archiving and continuity needs, and streamline engagement.

     

    How to stay subscribed

    Please sign up for the new discussion list by:

     

    When a message is sent to the new Connect email address, it will generate a post directly to your group's ALA Connect Community. Additionally:

    • Members can continue to post to the group simply by addressing an email to the new address.
    • Members of this community will get an email notification and be able to respond directly via email, or by logging in and responding to the discussion post within the community.
    • Members can adjust their Connect notification settings to receive individual email notifications or a digest format.

     

    Please check your notification settings which can be found under "My Account" in Connect to be sure you are notified when there is a new post to the community. A link to our Connect Community can also be found on our roster under "Resources."


    Current ACRL Interest Group Members
    All ALA members automatically have an
    ALA Connect account connected to their ALA login. You are automatically added to your ACRL interest group's Connect space when you add that interest group to your ALA/ACRL membership.

    If you know you are a current ACRL member and don't have access to this interest group's page in Connect, it's possible you simply need to add this interest group to your ACRL membership.  Adding sections and interest groups is free with your paid ACRL membership.  Please call ALA Member & Customer Service at 1-800-545-2433 ext. 5 with any membership questions.

    Non-Members
    Non-members are welcome to create a free Connect account and have access to numerous resources as well as well to view many community discussion forms.  However, non-members will not be able to post a message to this interest group discussion list as current membership will be required.  Again, please feel free to call 1-800-545-2433 ext. 5 with any membership questions.

    Please visit the
    Connect FAQ page for more information, and reach out to ACRL Program Coordinator Lauren Carlton, lcarlton@ala.org , with any questions.

     

    Best,
