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.)<br><br>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.<br><br>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.
