About Ohebooks
This is the listserv for staff members of library systems participating in the Ohio Digital Library project. It is for discussion between members concerning ebook information, support, statistics, etc.
The listserv is open to any staff member of any member library though, at a minimum, each library's primary contact should subscribe to the listserv. The project manager sometimes makes announcements directly but usually announcements are made via the listserv.
Announcements include service updates (outages, improvements, etc.), committee meetings, etc.
Staff persons at member libraries are more than welcome to post to the listserv for technical or support assistance, assistance with MARC records and ILS systems, requesting or sharing marketing and promotion information, and other items pertinent to the digital services.
To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Ohebooks Archives . (The current archive is only available to the list members.)

Subscribing to Ohebooks
Subscribe to Ohebooks by filling out the following form. You will be sent email requesting confirmation, to prevent others from gratuitously subscribing you. Once confirmation is received, your request will be held for approval by the list moderator. You will be notified of the moderator's decision by email. This is also a hidden list, which means that the list of members is available only to the list administrator.
You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext.
If you choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically generated for you, and it will be sent to you once you've confirmed your subscription. You can always request a mail-back of your password when you edit your personal options.
