A Listserv, or electronic mailing list, is a special usage of email that allows for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users. It is similar to a traditional mailing list — a list of names and addresses — as might be kept by an organization for sending publications to its members or customers, but typically refers to four things: a list of email addresses, the people ("subscribers") receiving mail at those addresses, the publications (e-mail messages) sent to those addresses, and a reflector, which is a single e-mail address that, when designated as the recipient of a message, will send a copy of that message to all of the subscribers.1
In COSEE:
- allcosee@cosee.net: Sends information to all centers and partners in the network (contact Catherine Cramer at catherinecramer@comcast.net to join)
- [1]: Ocean List
