Welcome to the Department of Library and Information Sciences.
SLIS Announce–L is the Department of Library and Information Sciences’ e-mail LISTSERV. It is an automatic message system that allows Department of Library and Information Sciences to send broadcast messages to each person who has elected to join the list. SLIS Announce-L is similar to a newsgroup or forum, except the messages are transmitted as e-mail, and are therefore only available to individuals who subscribe to the list.
This communication tool offers subscribers the opportunity to learn the latest news and receive important announcements. Many available professional job vacancies are communicated promptly through SLIS-Announce. Also, the LISTSERV provides an avenue for members to post comments, ask questions or request information. To make a LISTSERV request, contact the List Manager.
