VAVIRTUA-L
ABOUT VAVIRTUA-L
The VAVIRTUA-L listserv is VIVA's primary means of communicating with participants throughout the Commonwealth. In addition to posting all VIVA committee meeting announcements and minutes, other important announcements are made on this list and committees often request comments from the VIVA community via this listserv. Archives are available beginning in October 1997. We encourage all members of the Virginia academic library community to subscribe to VAVIRTUA-L.
VAVIRTUA-L is open (i.e. anyone, including vendors and people outside of Virginia, may and do subscribe) and unmoderated (i.e. any participant on the list may post directly to the list; no one moderates or edits messages.)

ABOUT TIC-L
The TIC-L listserv is for discussion of technical issues faced by VIVA members. Subscribers may wish to pose a question (on TIC-lish issues) to that list once in a while to see if other schools are experiencing a problem or to see how others are dealing with issues. This listserv is not very active, but it comes in handy from time to time.
TIC-L is a closed listserv, restricted to VIVA participants only.
