About the PNLA-L List
The PNLA-L mailing
list is intended to cover a variety of library-related interests
in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. We hope you'll
find the list useful and enjoy sharing in this unique community.
If you have any questions about the Rules of the Road or how
the list is run, please contact the list manager. Messages to
this list should be addressed to pnla-l@yahoogroups.com

Rules
of the Road |
| The following types
of postings are encouraged on this list: |
1. Job postings. We encourage libraries throughout the region to advertise job openings on this list.
[ see also: Job Announcements ]
2. Continuing education and other events. Postings of educational opportunities
and other events are always welcome. Go ahead and advertise. Just
keep it library related and non-commercial (events that charge
fees are okay, they just need to be more-or-less non-profit).
[ see also: Events & Conferences ]
3. Intellectual freedom.
Got an 'IF' problem? Want to report on an IF 'event'?
Do it here. Please try to keep things non-political. There
are two sides to every question.
4. YRCA.
The Young Reader's Choice Award is one of the most popular and
successful PNLA programs. It's the oldest and largest
children's book choice award in the US. This list is used to
make and discuss YRCA book nominations.

5. PNLA business.
The entire PNLA Board of Directors is subscribed and listening
attentively to your ideas about PNLA. This means suggestions
for programs at upcoming PNLA conferences, or any other comments
or suggestions for the organization.
[ see also: PNLA Board]
6. Other stuff.
Any other topic you think would be of interest to library aficionados
of the Northwest is fair game. Observe basic netiquette,
please. Currently this list is open (anyone who has an
email address can join the list) and unmoderated (only list
members can post messages), but this can be changed in future
if circumstances require it.
7. Observe basic netiquette, please. Flaming,
baiting, and other forms of nasty email will force the list
manager to do nasty things like issue warnings and unsubscribe
offenders. Please try to keep it civil and non-personal.
8. Advertising. Due to the large numbers of vendors
(who support us in so many ways), the PNLA list will accept
advertisements for new books, services, etc. during the first
week of each month. Please put ADV: in the subject heading for
those of us without budgets to spend. |
Free and open discussions are necessary to the well-being of libraries.
We hope you'll have an enjoyable experience conversing with colleagues in libraries far and wide.
