A Member's Guide to NASIG Communication

Page history last edited by Steve Oberg 1 year, 11 months ago

NOTE: The public version of this page is on the NASIG website. Any changes made here should be reflected on that page.

 

There are a variety of methods for NASIG members to receive information and to communicate with colleagues. The following list clarifies who can post, who receives/can read the message, and whether the content is limited in some way.

 

Announcements

The following are basically one way communication. Members can send in items to be included, but the information is vetted to make sure it is appropriate for the communication channel.

 

Messages to membership (Broadcast messages)

All NASIG members receive messages from committees about NASIG activities. These messages are one way (i.e. this is not a discussion list). The messages all have to do with NASIG, NASIG sponsored activities or UKSG. Members may receive messages from news@nasig.orgproceedings@list.nasig.orgregistrar@nasig.org etc. The messages do not have a standard subject (as is the case with lists) so if you want to set up a filter for these messages, you will need to use several sender email addresses.

 

Archives of broadcast messages are accessible to people with administrative rights following these instructions.

 

NASIG-L

 

NASIG-L is the electronic discussion list for NASIG members. Topics for discussion include: announcements, news, meetings, reports, and issues of concern to members that may be of interest to the NASIG organization. Job announcements are posted to the NASIG jobs blog, they are not allowed on NASIG-L. NOTE: in 2012, non-member conference attendees were added to NASIG-L to facilitate discussions related to the conference. Those individuals were removed from the list by early September.

 

To post to the list, email NASIG-L@nasig.org.

 

This list is moderated, which means that any message sent to NASIG-L will automatically be forwarded to the CC listmanagers for verification before being distributed to the rest of the NASIG-L subscribers.

 

NASIG members are automatically added to NASIG-L when they join the organization. At the bottom of each message there is a link and instructions on how to unsubscribe.

 

To report an email address change, send a message to the CC (communications@nasig.org) with your old address and your new address. Also, be sure to update your address by logging into the NASIG website, clicking on the My Memberships link at the top of the page and then clicking on the My Profile link in the left-hand menu and making any necessary changes. This will update the NASIG member directory, which can be viewed by logging into NASIG.org.

 

What's New

The NASIG site includes current announcements on the homepage. These announcements are normally duplicated and archived on the NASIG Blog. The announcements are posted by the CC or others on behalf of the organization's committees or others with serials/e-related news. Email communications@nasig.org if you'd like the CC to post news on your behalf.

 

Jobs Blog

All job announcements related to serials or electronic resources may be posted here. Announcements are pulled from various lists or can be mailed to jobs@nasig.org.

 

NASIG Newsletter

The NASIG Newsletter is published 4 times a year.  The publication is in blog format, therefore articles are added as individual posts in the weeks prior to the official issue announcement by the Newsletter editor. The Newsletter is not limited to NASIG members. Content is solicited from committees and NASIG members. As of September 2021, the NASIG Newsletter is on hiatus.

 

Avenues for Member Participation

 

NASIG Lists

Committee members are on the e-mail list for their assigned committee. Messages to the list go to all committee members. These are meant as a discussion forum closed to the specific committee. You can access the archives for each list with these instructions.

 

Contacting committees: NASIG members may contact the NASIG Board or committees through the e-mail listed on the committees web page.  

 

NASIG Blog

The NASIG blog will include news ("What's new" on the NASIG site) posted by committees or by any NASIG member. The blog is open to non-members to read and comment, but only members may contribute posts to it.
