Selected Library-Related Discussion Lists

The following contains the names of Canadian electronic discussion lists related to libraries, networking and information technology and their subscription address. With few exceptions, subscriptions are handled automatically by a computer (running software such as Listserv, Mailserv). Be careful to use the commands exactly as indicated.

To subscribe, send an email message to the address, put nothing into the subject line, and in the first line of the message type the following command replacing the parameters ListName, FirstName and LastName with the appropriate names:

SUBSCRIBE ListName FirstName LastName

e.g.: SUBSCRIBE NLC-INFO-BNC John Doe

For non-Canadian lists of interest to librarians, please refer to Library-Oriented Lists and Electronic Serials.

Information about new or additional lists is welcome and can be sent to clsslj@lac-bac.gc.ca
