E-mail Mailing Lists Maintained by the Department

The Department of Information Studies maintains several email mailing lists. Please note that none of the following mailing lists accept attachments to messages sent to the list.

Please attempt to post your message to the correct list, and keep the lists on the proper topic!

You can use an automated form to subscribe and unsubscribe from IS-ANNOUNCE, IS-NET and IS-CHAT.

  • IS-ANNOUNCE (is-announce@lists.gseis.ucla.edu) (formerly All-IS)

    • IS-Announce is the Department's primary on-line communication vehicle for major announcements regarding curriculum, policy, special programs, emergency announcements and the etc. Other sources of postings to IS-Announce include: GSE&IS information which impacts IS directly and; all official postings from the UCLA administration which have not already gone to the UCLA community. This list is only for currently enrolled students in the degree programs at Information Studies, IS faculty (ladder, emeriti, adjunct), and IS staff -- who will be subscribed automatically by the MIT staff.
     

  • IS-NET (is-net@lists.gseis.ucla.edu) (formerly Elisnet)  

    • IS-Net is a discussion and announcement list for interested students, faculty, and staff. Its focus is on issues relating to Library and Information Studies education in general, and the Department of Information Studies in particular. In addition, announcements of scholarship opportunities, conferences, student and professional job opportunities are posted here. This list is optional, but highly recommended as its scope is wider. Students, faculty, and staff must subscribe themselves.

  • IS-CHAT (is-chat@lists.gseis.ucla.edu) 

    • IS-CHAT is a discussion list that is open to any topic. Where the previous 2 lists must be related to the department, or information studies topics, any topic may be discussed on IS-CHAT.

    Simply stated, notice of a speaker for 272 or 271 would be posted on IS-Announce, thoughtful discussion about the speaker's topic would be posted on IS-Net. Job postings go to IS-Net. If in doubt, send everything else to IS-CHAT!
