Listservs are e-mail discussion groups that can be administered by one or more persons.  A listserv is a single e-mail address that, when mailed to, distributes the message to the e-mail addresses of all its members.  

Listservs tend to be grouped based on topics of interest, and they allow members to communicate with one another by submitting a message to the server. 

The lists can be open or moderated depending on the owner/administrator's preference.

To request a listserv, contact the Technology Assistance Center (TAC) at
910-962-HELP (4357) or e-mail TAC@uncw.edu and provide the following information:

1. The name of the listserv (i.e. Tactraining - for TAC Training Updates)
2. The name and e-mail address(es) of the listserv administrator(s)
