MDMLG Listserv Information

Membership:

The MDMLG listserv is open to anyone interested health sciences librarianship in Michigan, Ohio and Canada . You do not need to be a member of MDMLG in order to join and participate in the MDMLG listserv.

MDMLG List Owners / Moderators:

Listserv Host:

The two MDMLG Listservs (General Membership and Executive Board) are hosted by Michigan State University. The listservs were transferred to MSU in July 2026 because the University of Iowa was decomissioning all of their hosted listservs.

Guidelines:

In an effort to keep the listserv of a professional nature, anecdotes, jokes, and stories are discouraged on the MDMLG listserv. However, if you feel that an off-topic message would benefit the listserv members, please put "CHAT" in your subject line.

Vendor and charitable solicitations should be sent to the list moderator for approval prior to being posted to the listserv.
