Below is some information about PUBLIB, the public library e-mail discussion list. Way back in 1996, when CTLS was training 26 of our libraries on how to use the internet, we helped member libraries subscribe to PUBLIB as part of their training. If you have joined the CTLS family since then and haven't discovered PUBLIB, please consider subscribing. I get the digests; they're convenient to read. I guarantee you will learn a lot from your fellow librarians, and you can ask questions of a wider audience.
Please contact me with questions. Laurie
PUBLIB: 5,000 of Your Closest Friends
PUBLIB, established in 1992, is one of the oldest and largest independent library-related discussion lists. PUBLIB's members include public librarians from all over the world, library students, vendors, trustees, volunteers, members of the library press, and others interested in public librarianship.
PUBLIB, managed by volunteers Karen Schneider and Sara Weissman, is read directly by over 5,000 subscribers, and indirectly by many more. The focus of PUBLIB is public librarianship. The list is collegial, the discussions high-quality, and traffic is manageable, averaging several posts per day (sometimes more when a "hot topic" emerges). PUBLIB's publicly-accessible archives provide a valuable first stop for questions about public library services and management.
To subscribe to PUBLIB, browse its archives (back to 1995), or find out more about this venerable institution, go to:
