OPLINLIST -- Discussion list for Ohio's public libraries
About OPLINLIST	English (USA)
The OPLINLIST is an online unmoderated discussion of any and all non-technical topics related to OPLIN or Ohio's public libraries. General E-List Guidelines There can be no solicitation on OPLIN’s e-lists. The exception to this guideline is the posting of training, workshops, seminars and so on designed for the staff or trustees of public libraries for which a fee is charged. Such postings are encouraged. Campaign material for elections of any kind (local, state, federal, professional or other organizational) shall not be posted to any of the e-lists. Material about local practice that may be of general interest to the library community is frequently a beneficial topic. However, the OPLINList is not an appropriate forum for discussing the details of a dispute that is internal to any library system. Information about internal disputes is not permitted. Items posted to an e-list are not normally removed from the archive. However, when a poster contacts OPLIN and indicates that a posting was made in error, it will be removed. Items posted in violation of these guidelines will also be removed. Specific e-lists are subject to some limitations in the scope of discussion and/or in subscription. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the OPLINLIST Archives.
