A list of guides governing use of PPO electronic discussion lists.
Guidelines for Use of ALA Public Programs Office Electronic Discussion Lists
The Public Programs Office subscription electronic discussion lists are intended for:
- substantive discussion of issues and ideas relating to public programs at libraries, such as formats, funding, etc.;
- sharing information about library programming; especially cultural programming for adult community audiences;
- queries and advice to/from peers; and
- announcements from the ALA Public rograms Office regarding opportunities and initiatives.
When submitting a message to a list, please keep in mind:
- All postings should be of a public, non-confidential nature.
- All submissions should be in plain text without attachments.
- If you simply reply to a posted message, you will be responding to the entire list, not just the sender. When responding to a message posted to the list, please copy the sender’s e-mail address and respond to them directly; reply to the posted message only when you wish to share your response with the entire list.
- Basic rules of electronic mail etiquette are expected; e.g., anonymous submissions, character assassination, sharing confidential information, and profanity are strictly prohibited.
- All messages sent to the Public Programming list are subject to review and approval by a list moderator prior to posting.
