Listserv Use Guidelines

The RP Group listserv, hosted by the CCC Technology Center at Butte College, is not for commercial or private use. Both normal "netiquette" and academic freedom of expression are expected of users to maximize its utility. Please follow these simple guidelines in using the listserv:

  • All postings should be signed with the subscriber's name, job title, organization name and e-mail address.
  • All responses to postings should be signed with the subscriber's name, job title, organization name and e-mail address.
  • In general, attachments should NOT be sent to members of the listserv, because large documents will not go through. Please request that listserv members contact you directly for attachments you might wish to share.
  • Personal messages should be sent directly to an individual's e-mail address, NOT to the list.
  • This listserv is not intended for advertising, product-related press releases or other commercial use.
  • Members may occasionally use the listserv for announcements of non-commercial conferences, publications and other non-commercial resources of general interest to other subscribers.
  • Product endorsements are acceptable if in the context of a request for information or sharing of an experience. Responses from a representative of a corporate member should be in the context of a reasonable answer to a question posed by a subscriber and should not be blatantly commercial. Such postings should include the identifying signature of the person posting the message.
  • The opinions expressed in listserv discussions are those of individual subscribers and not necessarily those of their institutions. The RP Group is not responsible for the opinions expressed on the list.
  • RP Group maintains a web-based Job Posting service to which members may post job openings. Because many listserv members find job postings to the list to be intrusive, we discourage such practice. We encourage all interested parties to post job listings on the RP web-based service and we welcome those interested in positions to browse the listings, by clicking on Job Openings under the Membership tab at www.rpgroup.org
