Hi Joan, I look at mailing lists in my book for MIT (Email and the Everyday: Homes, Institutions, Markets) which should be out later this year. I talked to quite a few email list moderators, including AoIR, across academic, industry and commercial contexts. One of the central questions I explore is the role and future of listervs in the contemporary 'social media' landscape. Happy to send you a draft. And good luck with your own work!

Hello,
I am a graduate student of the MLIS program at University of Alberta and I have been a subscriber to this list for many years. I am currently taking a course on Human Information Interaction and I am currently researching listservs and their continued usefulness. For this purpose, I would like to write about the history and growth of this email discussion list. Would anyone be willing to share this information, or be willing to point me to a source that includes this information? The AIR-L website does not seem to include its own history.
Your help would be so greatly appreciated.
