How to Subscribe to the Publib Listserve
The recent migration of Publib to OCLC resulted in a non-intuitive subscription process. As of the time of this posting, the module is incorrectly configured and Publib archives are in a private area. The following steps are a work-around that will allow new subscribers to register. These steps should also make it apparent how to access the archives.
Update – Jan 15, 2012: The following process provided by OCLC will allow new subscribers to register without using the steps below for the GUI:
-
From the email address you wish to use for your interaction with the list, send an email to: listserv@webjunction.org and put subscribe publib in the body. You can put this in the subject line as well, but it is not required. (Note from editor: leave subject line blank OR put subscribe publib in it)
