PALS Reference Email Lists Combined

Posted Tue, 10/20/2009 - 14:40 by Brian Smith  | Ref-O-RAma Blog
The "RUG" and "QLReference" lists, which were started in pre-merger days, have been combined into and superseded by a single "Reference" email list. All subscribers to the two old lists have been moved to the Reference list. The address to post messages to the new list is: reference@mailman.palsnet.info. To subscribe, change your subscription options, or unsubscribe, visit the Reference list's information page. This change doesn't affect the PALS Readers' Advisory email list, which is still readersadvisory@mailman.palsnet.info.
