Dear List Owners:
 
     The Chronicle of Higher Education is planning an
     article on the role that Internet mailings lists
     are playing in scholarly communication.
 
     I would love to hear from some of you who can
     report on the role you think your lists are
     playing in your respective disciplines.
 
     Please write to me at the address below.
 
     I'm interested in knowing why people take
     on the responsibilities of managing lists?
     How do you find the time?
     Do you get any professional rewards for doing it?
     Do you include your role as a list owner on you CV?
     Are your universities supportive or do they grouse
     about the burden the listserv puts on their computers?
 
     Be sure to let me know the name of your list, how
     big it is, how long it has existed, etc.
     I'd also like to know your name, title, and a phone
     number where I can call you.
 
     I appreciate any input that folks can provide.
 
     Sincerely,
     Thomas J. DeLoughry
     Senior Editor for Information Technology
