new list for court law libraries

Dear Court Librarians and Other Interested Parties,

A number of us have been discussing the possibility of opening an E-MAIL
discussion list for court librarians because we have a lot of things to
talk about that do not necessarily concern other law librarians.
Tom Bruce from Cornell Univ. offered to post the list, but has a number
of questions. I would like to get some feedback from interested persons
about the following subjects:

1. Membership - should this be court librarians, public law librarians,
SCCLL?

2. Should it be moderated? That means that someone would have to go
to the trouble to read each message before they would be posted.

3. Should it be an open or closed list? That is, we have the option of
defining qualifications for membership to the list. Tom said that most
lists are open and the occasional message from Mars is not disruptive.

4. Should nonsubscribers be able to post? Ditto question 3.

We will need to draft a welcome message. Suggestions as to content are
most welcome. We will also need to have a sign-off message. Tom
suggested "BYE."

Please let me know who you are and how you feel about all of this.

Jackie Wright
