UniLib Mailing List

What is it?

This is the primary way to communicate with all current employees of the University Libraries at all locations.

Who is the audience?

The UniLib mailing list goes out to all current employees of the University Libraries, plus some of our affiliates outside of the Libraries who work closely with us, such as our colleagues in Advancement and HR, as well as some emeritus Libraries faculty. This is a list of 90+ recipients.

How do I use it?

The list does not have a moderator, which means that anyone can send a message. As a result, we ask that the UniLib community abide by a set of shared guidelines.

• Anyone can send a message to UniLib.
• Before you send a message to UniLib, ask yourself if this is the right venue. We have a number of mailing lists within the Libraries – would this be a better fit for a more targeted list?
• Follow these steps to send a message to UniLib: enter your own name in the “To” field and put the UniLib mailing list in the “BCC” field. This ensures that replies will go to only to the sender, even if “Reply All” is selected.
• Messages to UniLib should be relevant to the business of the university or the Libraries (i.e. announcements about services, events, processes, hires, etc). If you would like to share information with the Libraries community about topics outside this scope, please use the #community channel on Slack (more below).
• If someone has forgotten to BCC the UniLib mailing list. Do not “Reply All.” If you would like to reply to a UniLib message, reply to the sender individually.

To sum up:

Please abide by these guidelines to ensure that UniLib list remains a valuable communications channel for communicating messages of importance to our internal Libraries community.
