SLIK-12: School libraries of Iowa, K-12
An Electronic Library Mailing List
All teacher-librarians in Iowa may join this electronic forum. The audience for this discussion group will typically be teacher-librarians who work in K-12 schools in Iowa, and those who share their professional concerns, interests and mission. The purpose of this group is to facilitate professional communication among Iowa teacher-librarians, provide mentoring, disseminate research findings, discuss intellectual freedom and share applications of the Internet and other online services. This discussion group is sponsored by University of Northern Iowa's Division of School Library Studies, in the College of Education at the University of Northern Iowa.
SLIK-12 is an unmoderated discussion group.
SLIK-12 recognizes the contribution vendors can provide the profession. Therefore, vendors may participate in this electronic forum provided they do not promote or advertise products or services.

We welcome vendor expertise on products, services, etc., that facilitate professional discussions. Vendors who violate this trust will be barred from the list.
All new members, including vendors, are asked to announce their participation in SLIK-12 with an initial introduction.

What do I do if I change my email address and want to stay on the SLIK-12?
If you leave one email address in favor of another, unsubscribe the old while you still have rights to it. You can not unsubscribe the old address from your new address. Once the old address is invalid bounces will begin to show up in the list owner’s mailbox. If you forget to unsubscribe old address send an email to karla.krueger@uni.edu requesting that she unsubscribe your old address. Include the old address in this request.
Using the *reply* command to a message read on SLIK-12 will send your reply to the person who wrote the message.
What should I do if I begin to receive the same email message repeatedly?
If you find that you are receiving the same SLIK-12 message over and over, do NOT post a message back to the SLIK-12 list asking if others are seeing the same thing. They are, and they will also begin to see your query over and over. Mailboxes will simply fill up twice as fast.
Instead, forward one copy of the message to karla.krueger@uni.edu and to postmaster@uni.edu. The copy that you choose to forward should include all of the e-mail header information and should *not* be the first copy that you received (the first copy will not include tracks of the offending system in the headers).
How should I share the results of a request for information I made?
This process is likely familiar to those of you who also subscribe to LM_NET. It is the TARGET and HIT process. A TARGET is a request for information. Afterward, a HIT is posted that compiles or summarizes the responses that were received. This is a benefit to other list members. On LM_NET the replies are usually compiled WITHOUT names or contact information from those who sent their replies directly to you. Those who replied to you may not be willing to have their contact information shared with the mailserv.
When replying to or posting a HIT or summary, please consider these e-mail etiquette suggestions: 1) Post the HIT of summarized responses, perhaps copied and pasted into a message, without names or contact information. 2) If you TARGET information and wish to share others' responses including their contact information about a topic, please state in your request for information that names and email addresses of those replying will be shared with the listserv. 3) If you reply to a TARGETED request for information, and you wish to remain anonymous, please state that in your reply to the person who will summarize the information.
