Help Make the ‘Serv a Better Service!

The LMA Technology Committee is always on the lookout for ways to improve the technologies that are part of the LMA’s member services. One such area is our beloved listserv, which many of us rely on as both a way to get answers to questions ranging from the trivial to the critical, and as a forum for expressing our views on a wide variety topics (when, happily, someone asks the right question). A great deal of knowledge moves across the ‘serv, and it’s one of the important advantages of membership.

So it’s time for you to let the Tech Committee know what we can do to make the listserv better for you – more robust, more accessible, more functional, easier to use, etc. For example, some areas that have come up in our discussions are:

• Partitioning the listserv by topic (e.g., technology questions, strategy, PR, etc), by region for certain kinds of topics, or other focused areas
• Having chapter-focused listservs to encourage more interaction from people with local questions
• Archiving important listserv threads as easily accessible “resources”
• Improving the ability to search the listserv archives
• Including listserv posts as part of a larger “knowledge base”
• Eliminating the double log-in (if possible) when accessing the online listserv
• Finding a better process for uploading attachments when listserv responses require documents/attachments

If anything about the listserv has been bugging you, or if you’ve had a great idea for an improvement in any area, we want to hear about it.
