What Is the Purpose of Each List?

IST_NEWS

should be used for news and announcements of general interest to a wide range of subscribers in the area of instructional technology.

IST_STUDENTS

should be used for announcements or messages to current students in the IST department. This can be announcements of any type which do not fit into one of the other specific mailing list categories, as long as they would reasonably be considered of interest to a significant part of the IST student population.

IST_ROOKIES

should be used for announcements to students new to our programs.

IST_JOBS

should be used for posting job announcements. Please note: If you want to send e-mail to this list and also post your job announcement on the IST Web site, then use our Web Form.

IST_ALUMNI

should be used for announcements to former students.

IST_ABD

should be used for mail to ABD students. If you would like to be added to this list, send e-mail to the IST Webmaster with your preferred email address.

IST_ADVERTISE

should be used for advertisements (e.g., like classified ad's in a newspaper) for that roommate wanted, couch for sale, fridge to trash if no one claims it.

IST_GIST

should be used to communicate with members of the GIST organization (Graduates in Instructional Systems Technology). (Subscription is open to GIST members only; to subscribe, send email to Christy Borders)

IST_K12

Please note: IST_FACULTY_PLUS-L, IST_STAFF, IST_ABD, and IST_GIST

are closed lists. The remaining lists can be subscribed to by anyone, since they are open lists.

How Do I Send Mail to One of These Lists?

Send mail to: IST_listname@indiana.edu ( e.g., ist_students@indiana.edu )

If you are sending mail from an IU account (e.g., username@indiana.edu), then you can simply send mail to the listname. You can leave off the '@indiana.edu' part. If your e-mail account is not @indiana.edu, then you must send to the full address.

Please note: If you want to send e-mail to ist_jobs and also to post your job announcement on the IST Web site, then use our Web Form.
