| Abstract: | Conclusion Despite the claims of some, listservs do not supplant the need for professional print journals. Most messages are short (5,000
bytes, the equivalent of one single-spaced page, is considered lengthy) and revolve around useful day-to-day professional
information exchanges. This type of information is valuable and extremely useful-where else can one post a plea for advice
which will be read by hundreds of professional peers within 24 hours? However, there is no reason why this same vehicle cannot
be used to substantively examine the professional literature and facilitate reporting on talks and/or sessions from professional
meetings. Given the wide scope of cultural and organizational institutions employing list subscribers, listservs provide a
fertile forum for communication on user populations. A more robust understanding of our clientele and the sharing of data
about them will allow our professions to more propitiously position ourselves both within society and with those with the
power of the purse. |
