LISTSERV is a service provided by the Office of Information Technology
(OIT) at
the University of Maryland. LISTSERV is designed
to provide an electronic subscriber service for groups and
organizations whose primary focus is scholarly research and
academic enhancement, and who are affiliated with the University
of System of Maryland.
Guidelines for approving a new LISTSERV list on an OIT machine:
- The list owner must either be a faculty member or full-time staff member at the College Park campus. A non full-timer may be designated for the day-to-day operation of the list.
- The amount of disk storage required should not exceed the
levels typical of other LISTSERV lists.
- The person or group requesting a LISTSERV list must commit
to maintaining the list.
- List names may be no longer than 24 characters.
- LISTSERV cannot be used for commercial purposes.
- The LISTSERV list should advance the educational mission of
the University of Maryland.
Requests for new lists (LISTSERV or reflector) should be made thru http://list-request.umd.edu. On that page, indicate the type of list desired in the list description.
The Office of Information Technology, as the provider of the host machine,
reserves the right to discontinue any unsatisfactory LISTSERV
list. Reasons might include:
- The transmittal of materials that violate the rules of the network
used
by the LISTSERV list.
- The LISTSERV list is not adequately maintained (e.g., uses
excessive computer resources, contains invalid mail
addresses, etc.)
- The LISTSERV list is not used for three months.
- Complaints from networks servicing the LISTSERV list that concern
violations of their guidelines or the University's Policy for the
Acceptable Use of Computing Resources.
Questions about this policy should be addressed to OIT Policy and
Planning at policy@umd.edu
