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) - list archive
- 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.
- IS-NET (is-net@lists.gseis.ucla.edu) - list archive
- 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.
- IS-TALKS (is-talks@lists.gseis.ucla.edu)
- IS-TALKS is open to everyone and is used to advertise talks/presentations/events both within the Information Studies department, and events outside of the departments that may be of interest to the community at large. Examples of topics would include IS Colloquium series announcements, special presentations by guests to the department (for example, the SLA President making a presentation), or Information Studies related speakers at other local institutions. This list should be used instead of IS-ANNOUNCE to make announcements of these events, unless an event is directly sponsored by or taking place within the GSE&IS department.
N.B. 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. An announcement of a discussion series at the Getty would go to IS-Talks. Job postings go to IS-Net. If in doubt, send everything else to IS-CHAT!
