Cataloging Distribution Service - Bibliographic Products and Services from the Library of Congress

Subscription Information About the Desktop Discussion List

This page gives you some brief information about the mailing list and allows you to execute commands for it. The Listowner is the person responsible for maintaining the mailing list, and you should mail him/her if there are problems with the list. The mailing list software is the program which maintains the list, LISTSERVTM. The posting address is where you should direct all messages that should be sent to all subscribers. The address for mailing list commands is where you should send all commands if you are not using this interface. Do not send mailing list commands to the posting address. For more information about the mailing list, contact the listowner. If the Listowner can no longer be reached by email, contact LC Web Server Administrator.

Note, listowners do not have direct control over the Mailing List WWW Gateway database; for LISTSERVTM mailing lists, Review Mailing List Distribution List, and for ListProcessor mailing lists, the Mailing List Information File, will return more definitive information.
