Description

LISTSERV® is the email list management software program for SUNY Fredonia. Lists are provided as an efficient, convenient, and economical way for faculty/staff/students to communicate with a group of users at a time. Campus-wide lists are provided for administrative communications and faculty/staff and students are required to remain subscribed to these specific lists for as long as their relationship with Fredonia exists.

Function 1:  Create and/or delete lists

Function 2:  Creation and maintain campus-wide lists

Function 3:  Create and maintain department major’s list

Service Users

For Function 1 and Function 2, the service is available to faculty, staff, students, associates, alumni, and guests.  For Function 3 the service is available for faculty and students.

User Services

Users can request the creation of a list for any business related purpose and they will become the owners and will be responsible for the management of the list. Any user can subscribe and participate in any available public list as long as it is permitted by the list owner. Closed and private lists are available only to members.

Business Services

Departments can request majors lists to be created and populated when major codes are provided. These lists are updated usually during or after third week of classes, but could be updated on demand if required.

Technical Services

LISTSERV® software is installed in a Windows shared server and depends on the email service to perform its functions. The service is backed up daily.

Requirements

Faculty/staff/administrators can request the creation of a new list, the deletion and or changes to existing lists that they own. Students can request lists for their groups through their faculty advisor who will become the owner/co-owner of the list and will become responsible for continuity and communication with new students as group changes warrant.
