Ideally, a process would come before a new list, but given that this is the third time in my memory that there has been discussion of an acquisitions list, I have no objections. Kathy On 04/27/2017 10:58 AM, Leslie St. John wrote: This is not the first time the group has discussed or requeste

This is not the first time the group has discussed or requested a separate mailing list.This keeps coming up because when the group meets there is indication that if we had the list more users would become more vocal, which is really something we need to facilitate. I've noticed that most of the

Hi all, I'm just catching up to this email thread now. I also saw that there was a similar request for a circulation list that was briefly discussed in IRC last week. There seems to be two schools of thought in the community about mailing lists. There are a lot of people who would like to se

I would vote no, also. I agree that the cataloging listserv is currently very low volume, and I would not mind at all seeing the acquisitions discussion on the cataloging list if a relatively quiet space is needed to hash things out. I say this as a subscriber to the cataloging listserv with no dir

My concern would be that we have already seen other lists (such as the Sysadmin one) suffer from splintering as Jason pointed out. People may not sign up for a new list serv and less eyes on communication ends up being a detriment. The cataloging list for example I don't think is suffering from s

My vote would be "yes" for having a specific listserv for Acquisitions. It would let the discussions be more Acq-specific instead of clogging up the Catalogers' list with stuff they might not care about, and could be a more focused discussion since it wouldn't be mixed in with other areas of intere

I'd argue for "No" on the creation of an acquisitions list. Mainly for the same reasons that the administrators' list was shut down and that I disagree with the creation of a circulation list. I think the discussion of Angularization of acquisitions interfaces belongs on the development list and n
