Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions interest group request for dedicated Acquisitions Listserv

[Diane Disbro]

Right! I have followed this discussion with interest and can see both sides of 
the issue. But I lean toward thinking that circ people will be more apt to pay 
attention to a listserv that serves only circ people.

 

Thank you.

Hello

 

First of all I just want to say a big Thank you to Kathy Lussier for writing 
such a great analysis of this issue. I think she did an excellent job of 
articulating the basic arguments for both sides.

 

I agree that we need some kind of process for requesting new lists or 
guidelines about when a new list is warranted.  I would be happy to help come 
up with some guidelines after the Sitka upgrade to 2.12 is complete (end of 
May). 

 

I think that the debian requirements are a great place to start. 

  
https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list

 

Currently the vote is 5/3 in favour of a new list. I am happy to wait until May 
5th to see if there is any further discussion on this topic.  Since this is the 
third time over the years that an Acquisitions specific list has been requested 
I strongly feel that we should go ahead and create the new list. 

Thank you

Christine

0, as I think that numbering the pages would make a stronger statement
about a One True Ordering of topics (as opposed to a bunch of
potential orderings whose usefulness depends on where a given person
is starting from) than may be warranted. That said, I have no strong
objections to organizing the material in the form of a book-like thing
if that works for you.

Is there a particular DokuWiki plugin you have in mind?

0; I think this should be evaluated on a page-by-page basis, and I
reiterate my concern expressed above about insisting on a single
narrative flow.
