Purpose & Description
- The FLA electronic discussion list is for the discussion of issues relating to the Florida Library Association, libraries in Florida, and libraries in general.
- There is one general, unmoderated FLA discussion list. Subscribers may receive messages posted to it individually or in digest form.
Subscribing
- Only members of FLA may subscribe to the lists and only subscribers may post messages.
- Members of FLA may subscribe to the general list by contacting the FLA Office.
Posting Policy
The following policy governs all postings to the FLA Discussion List:
- All messages must relate to the general topics of the Florida Library Association, libraries in Florida, or libraries in general.
- Advertisements are not appropriate. However, a simple statement that offers a way to follow up for more information on a service or product is permitted if it accompanies a substantive message discussing a subject appropriate to the list. Announcements of conferences, workshops, new publications, and position openings appropriate to the topic of the list are allowed.
- All postings must be free of copyright restrictions that limit distribution. For example, posting a significant amount of a copyrighted work verbatim requires the permission of the copyright holder. To verify that such permission was obtained, all postings of this nature must include a statement that this is the case. It is preferred that individuals post a small piece of a work, such as a newspaper or magazine article, and provide a link to the full work.
