[OPLINLIST] OPLIN listservs

[Mandy Knapp]

This thread reminds me to share that if your library is a member of the
Ohio eBook Project, please have at least one staff member subscribe to
the Ohebooks listserv. You can  subscribe by sending an empty message to
'ohebooks-subscribe at winslo.state.oh.us
<mailto:ohebooks-subscribe at winslo.state.oh.us> ' Messages include
"Announcements including service updates (outages, improvements, etc.),
committee meetings, etc. Staff persons at member libraries are more than
welcome to post to the listserv for technical or support assistance,
assistance with MARC records and ILS systems, requesting or sharing
marketing and promotion information, and other items pertinent to the
digital services."

 

Thanks all,

Chad,

      I've seen the traffic go down as well. I just chalked it up to
fewer full-time techies (like you and me)

To all (but primarily directors!):

One of the libraries I work with was caught off guard with the recent
MORE/VDX upgrade. While the upgrade has been discussed on the MORELIST
listserv, the director and staff at the library weren't aware that
MORELIST exists. Separately, it was recently mentioned to me that
activity on the OPLINTECH list has been declining. (I checked the
archives:  In the last couple of years, the average number of monthly
posts does seem to be a little less than in previous years.)

I'm wondering if the cause for both might simply be that as
staff/directors leave and new staff/directors take their place, the
existence of some of these valuable OPLIN listserv resources might
simply be lost in transition.

I'm personally most interested in maintaining the quality resource that
is OPLINTECH, so I'd selfishly (and respectfully!) like to request that
you forward this message on to your IT staff in the event that they
aren't aware of the list. But some of the other lists might be of
interest/use to your various other staff. The link below takes you to a
page on OPLIN's website that describes how to join OPLIN's listserv
resources.

Thanks!

Ps. Hopefully, I'm not stepping on any toes by posting this. Not my
intent! I'm just another subscriber to some of the lists and have no
other official associations/responsibilities/interests/etc. other than
to my own clients.
