Subject: [Bcma-l] Annual Reminder re BCMA-L Listserv Basic Policies &
Posting Practices


> Hello subscribers,
>
> The BCMA-L listserv has been receiving an increasing number of postings
> with attachments and/or images included in the message content, etc.  The
> following is being re-circulated as a nice, gentle reminder to all
> regarding the listserv's basic policies and posting practices -- Thank
> you!
>
> Currently BCMA-L (bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca) is available FREE to any and
> all interested parties. To maintain its effectiveness, we ask subscribers
> to please keep in mind the following:
>
> THE DO’S:
> ------------
> PROMOTING DEVELOPMENT: Subscribers are encouraged to utilize BCMA-L to
> increase the promotion of education, training and professional development
> opportunities within their related communities. It is also a fast and
> productive tool to seek advice and assistance, or to exchange expertise
> and resource information.
>
> EMAIL/CONTACT INFORMATION: Please include your email/contact information
> in messages to allow for direct replies from responding members, if
> desired, otherwise responses will only be posted back to BCMA-L. If the
> original submitter’s contact info is not included, they may receive a
> notice from the moderator to please re-submit their message with the
> additional information.
>
> REVISING THE SUBJECT LINE FOR RESPONSES: Some topics or “searches” result
> in several responses posted back to BCMA-L and your Inbox with the same
> Subject line and it may appear you are receiving the same posted message
> over and over again — which you are not. As an example, a message posted
> with the Subject line: “Looking for a Conservator” could be responded to
> with a revised Subject line of: “Suggestions for a Conservator” and posted
> back to BCMA-L for subscribers to view.
>
> THE DON’TS:
> ---------------
> NO ATTACHMENTS: To protect subscribers from potential viruses, submissions
> containing attachments (eg. Word/PDF documents and/or imbedded images)
> will not be approved for posting. Submitters will receive a “Rejected”
> notice from the moderator with a request to remove the images and/or
> re-submit with the text from the attachment either typed or
> copied-and-pasted (preferably in plain text format) into the main body of
> the original message. An alternative option to consider is including a
> weblink (or email contact) in your message to provide subscribers access
> to additional information, forms, photos, etc.
>
> NO COMMERCIAL VENTURES: No advertising, product or services solicitation
> please; other promotional venues, i.e. Museums Roundup, annual Conference
> Trade Show, Regional Workshops, forthcoming Learning Resource Database,
> etc. are available for this purpose. The submitter will receive a notice
> from the moderator re Commercial Venture status.
>
> NO RESUMES: Resumes are not posted on BCMA-L. Subscribers should respond
> directly to the original job posting contributor. Respondents submitting
> resumes will receive a notice from the moderator to please re-direct their
> message to the posting institution.
>
> BCMA-L’s Role
> Please remember BCMA-L’s role (and the moderator’s) is solely to serve as
> a clearinghouse for submissions of relevance and interest to the
> provincial cultural heritage community. This includes related information
> received by BCMA and forwarded to listserv subscribers. From time to time,
> this may include conferences, workshops, post-secondary courses, etc.,
> however forwarding this information to BCMA-L does NOT constitute an
> endorsement by BCMA and is provided only for the information of
> subscribers. Suggestions from subscribers to improve how/what information
> is received via the listserv are always welcome. Please email suggestions
> and requests to members@museumsassn.bc.ca
>
> Best regards,
