Think of it as a large bulletin board. You pin up a message for your colleagues to read and/or respond to. Messages are posted in response to yours, and so on. Instead of paper scraps and puch pins, we use e-mail over the Internet. Participation is not limited to ILGISA members.

ILGISA Listserv Use Guidelines

When posting a message on the ILGISA list serv, subscribing members should keep in mind the following general guidelines:

If you have an alias email that was supplied to you, please do not utilize that alias to subscribe, use your full email address because some listserv hosts can be sensitive to alias emails and cause you to receive errors.
The purpose of this valuable resource is to provide an open forum for the posting of announcements and discussion of news, ideas, and information relating to GIS.
Each message should be suitable for this site and constructive as to content.
Care should be given to the composition of each message to ensure that the announcement/request will be clearly understood by the subscribing members.
Always remember that your responses to questions or inquiries are posted to all subscribers on the ListServ. Therefore you should respond in a professional, business like manner.
The exchange of jokes, chain letters, sports pools or other gambling activities, as well as uncomplimentary or unproductive information regarding elected officials, employees, colleagues, etc., is considered an inappropriate use of this ListServ.
VERY IMPORTANT: remember to unsubscribe from the ListServ before enabling the automatic response feature on your email. Otherwise you risk every ListServ subscriber receiving hundreds of copies of your automatic response.
The ListServ cannot distribute messages that are longer than 40,000 characters, including attachments. It is best to keep messages as short as possible and to break up long attachments and transmit them separately.
