Teach [+] Tech [=] Nexus

Laura Leek (ESL) contacted us asking for a listserv for a special project with colleagues. Listservs work well for classes, student clubs or when your team includes members of the community (non-Los Rios participants). We often overlook some bedrock technologies of the Internet - tools that were used before the World Wide Web became so easy to use. Majordomo (circa 1992) is a tool to collect and manage email addresses and to forward messages sent to the list to all enrolled participants.

At SCC, Listserv requests are made through email to District Office. Here is the web page URL and the details mentioned on that page. You just need to use your campus email to send the request.

To request a listserv (mailing list) email the help desk with the following information:

* List name (please include a first and second choice, in case your first choice is already in use)
* List maintainer's e-mail address
* Maintenance password
* Description
* Introductory message
* Forwarded mail footer (text that is automatically added to the end of the body of every message sent via the list)
* Moderated list? Yes or No
* Moderator's address: Same as maintainer or different e-mail address
