What is “LISTSERV”? • LISTSERV® is a system that makes it possible to create, manage and control electronic "mailing lists" on your corporate network or on the Internet. • Different from a Distribution List in Outlook. • Folks can subscribe to or remove themselves from a listserv, but have less control if someone has them on a Distribution List.
Distribution lists in Outlook • You add people to your list. Choose that list from Contacts. (Other people can’t “join” or “subscribe” to your distribution list.) Scroll up to see Contacts.
Distribution lists, continued • All the people you added to your distribution list will be added to this email. They may not have a similar list to put you on.
LISTSERV lists in Outlook • Denoted by “-L” like FLC-ADMINCOUNCIL-L or FLC-ANNOUNCE-L • You would need to know the name of the listserv you belong to, or want to send to. • Use the Search box at the To option of the new email message.
LISTSERV lists in Outlook, cont’d. • I know I belong to “flc-ClientServices-l”. I can send an email to all members of that LISTSERV without having to create my own Distribution List. People can subscribe or drop, and I am not managing who is in or out.
OFFICIAL – FACULTY – ANNOUNCE • FLC-OFFICIAL-L includes all employees. This Listserv is moderated, meaning, someone reviews content for standards, then sends it. • FLC-FACULTY-L includes all Faculty, fulltime and adjunct. This Listserv is moderated, meaning, someone reviews content for standards, then sends it. (Same for STUDENT) • You can choose to be on FLC-ANNOUNCE-L
Logging into LISTSERV • If you are on-campus, type “listserv” in the address bar of your browser window.
Logging into LISTSERV, cont’d. • Enter your FLC email address as the username. • If you have changed your network password, you will need to change it here, as well.
