Overview

The iDigBio Listservs wiki page serves as an index of our various listervs, as well as an instructional resource for how or add/remove oneself from an existing listserv, or create a new listserv.


Current Listservs

iDigBio Listserv

Resource: idigbio-L@lists.ufl.edu

Purpose: Community communication and announcements.

To add yourself to the list, email listserv@lists.ufl.edu with the following command in the body of the email:

ADBC IT Listserv

Note that the ADBCIT-L listserv should not be used to submit User Services tickets to iDigBio (e.g., site down, authentication issues). A separate list has been created for that purpose. A form on the iDigBio.org website (https://www.idigbio.org/contact/Website_feedback) accepts User Services issues related to the site or digitization questions, and routes the issues to iDigBio support personnel.

How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe

Many LISTSERV operations are easily performed through email. We'll use the fictional list FICTIONAL-L in our examples below. You should replace all occurrances of the string "FICTIONAL-L" with the list you are interested in.

To add yourself to a list, send a piece of email to listserv@lists.ufl.edu with the line:

subscribe (listname) (your first name) (your last name)

e.g.:
subscribe FICTIONAL-L Jane Doe


To remove yourself from a list, send a piece of email to listserv@lists.ufl.edu with the line:

unsubscribe (listname)

e.g.:
unsubscribe FICTIONAL-L


How to Request a New List

New list requests are sent here.
