Apologies for cross-listing :) As academic librarians, we help build our students into digital citizens. They need the tools and resources to be savvy tech users and to become information literate. We need to make sure that our students understand the permanence of their digital actions. This

I've got a uber busy schedule with precious little off desk time to watch videos or read QUE- like books re" MS Publisher. I really need a good Publisher online forum where I could pose questions and read discussions re: specific tasks. The Yahoo and Google Publisher groups seem very quiet.

Thanks, Kate. Based upon the posts earlier, I received the distinct impression that the anonymity discussion is meant to put unecessary boundaries around the second issue. On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 12:35 PM Kate Deibel < 001fd0f2bb98-dmarc-requ...@lists.clir.org> wrote: > While Risa was spot

While Risa was spot on with my criticisms about the survey approach, I want to be clear that there are two issues here. One is having a policy for when it does come to research collection related to the community and setting standards for what we expect to see. This is especially true when it

I agree with Kate here. This seems too much like those cases where one patron leaves an empty bag of chips on a table, so the whole library plasters obnoxious "NO FOOD ON THE TABLES" signs all over and creates a 12-person ad hoc committee to discuss food policies. I don't think we need to create a

I am also strongly against restricting anonymous or pseudonymous users. It is true that sometimes anonymity brings trolls, but it is also true that anonymity allows for people to bring issues to the table without worrying about who is lurking and who in their organization might retaliate.

I read the LSOFT page describing the DMARC aliases, and it seems like there is a good technical reason for doing so.  To disallow the LISTSERV-supplied DMARC aliases would prevent some participant's mail from being delivered (or would have it downgraded to "junk" status by the receiving mail
