SLIS LISTSERV INSTRUCTIONS

The School of Library and Information at CUA maintains several lists that serve our community:

Student Listserv (LIBSCI-L)

Because many of our students live, work and study away from CUA's main campus, this listserv is the primary means of communication between the school and the students. NOTE: It is assumed that students are subscribed and many important messages are distributed only via the listserv.

To unsubscribe from the Student listserv:

  • Send an e-mail from the account you wish to unsubscribe to: listserv[at]lists.cua.edu.
  • In the body of the message, include the following code: SIGNOFF LIBSCI-L

Adjunct Faculty Listserv:

SLIS maintains a listserv for adjunct faculty members. Its purpose is to provide adjunct faculty members a forum to discuss common issues. This is a special closed list and subscription is controlled by the list owner. If you are an adjunct faculty member who is not on this list, please contact Dave Shumaker for subscriber information.
