With the retirement of the University Library Listserv application a few years ago, it may be difficult to know what email lists and listservs you are a member of or may have created or manage yourself. Below is the process you should try to follow:
The first thing you can do is to check the Library Listservs page on the staff site. This page lists all the lists currently managed by Library Strategic Technologies. For any questions or changes to these Listservs, please fill out a helpdesk request. Please note, members of the lists are not available on the web page itself.
Next, you can check the Penn State Listserv page, which is managed centrally by Penn State IT. Click on Subscriber’s Corner to see your list subscriptions. Please note the Library Listservs don’t appear here.
If you don’t see your email list as a listserv, the next place to check would be Penn State Account’s page accounts.psu.edu.
User Managed Groups (UMG’s) are another platform for email lists. A UMG is a list of people created and managed by one or more students, faculty, or staff members to facilitate one or more of the following:
- Communication and collaboration with the individuals in the group,
- Granting or restricting access to files, folders, websites, or other resources, and/or
- Granting or restricting permissions related to those resources.
Select User Managed Groups icon on the accounts home page. You can now view All My Groups or Groups I manage.
Finally, the email list you are looking for might be a Microsoft 365 Distribution list. Distribution lists are accessible by clicking on your Settings icon in Outlook on the web.
Click on the search box under settings and type Distribution and click Distribution lists when it appears.
Janet – the list of members are not available on the staff site page, this is just a list of all the lists.. If you need a list of members, you will need to put in a ticket so our staff can pull a list for you.
When clicking on the Library Listservs page on the staff site, I can see the list of lists, but cannot expand them to see the members. What am I missing?
