LM_NET

I subscribed to the US equivalent of the NZ school library list serv - LM_NET (School Library Media & Network Communications), and while it was interesting to see what sort of messages and questions were being discussed, with 12,000 members it quickly became untenable, even with the digest version, with 50 - 80 messages a day !

Much of this information is also available on the LM_NET Web page http://lmnet.wordpress.com/

or in the LM_NET Archives which are searchable and organized by thread, date, subject or author and are available at the EduRef (formerly AskERIC) web site
http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/archive/

I'm going to try the EL-Announce service with LM_NET Select (Education and Library Announcements) which is a moderated, thrice weekly, read only, compilation of selected messages posted to LM_NET... we'll see how it goes !
