The RILA Listserv is an e-mail discussion forum through which RILA members can share ideas, questions, and concerns with one another. Members of the RILA Board and Standing Committee Members also use the list to make announcements to the membership. Please note: * You will receive RILA Listserv postings only if you are a current member of the Rhode Island Library Association. * Likewise, postings to RILA Listserv will only be accepted from RILA members in good standing.
RILA Members should then direct all of their RILA Listserv posts to listserv-rila@googlegroups.com(link sends e-mail)

To post to the Listserv, you do not need a Google account, but to visit the RILA Google Group Homepage you do. Setting up a Google account is quick and free. On the homepage, you can change your notification settings and look at old archived posts.

The direct link to the Google Group is http://groups.google.com/group/listserv-rila(link is external)

Note: If you reply to an email, it will go the entire group.  Please check the "To:" field before sending private messages to ensure that it is going to the correct person.
