ISL-ANNOUNCE The Illinois State Library Electronic Announcement List

ISL-Announce is an electronic "read-only" mail list providing timely announcements from Illinois State Library staff regarding grants, electronic resources, satellite teleconferences, continuing education and other programs and items of interest to Illinois library staffs.

The Illinois State Library encourages all ILLINET member librarians, library staff, trustees, members of the Illinois library community and those interested in Illinois library issues to subscribe to ISL-Announce.

Posting to this list is limited to the staff of the Illinois State Library. All ISL-Announce messages will include the name, e-mail address and phone number of a specific contact person at the Illinois State Library from whom further information can be requested.
