Maine GeoLibrary Mailing List Guidelines
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is the Maine GeoLibrary List?
The Maine GeoLibrary List is Maine GeoLibrary's newest active
communication tool. It is an unmoderated mailing list that allows
members to send email messages to the entire group of subscribers using

2. What is the purpose of the Maine GeoLibrary List?
The purpose of the Maine GeoLibrary List is to provide the Maine GIS
community with an easy way to exchange information on GIS related
events, issues, and training opportunities around the state as well as
around the world. It has also been established to provide an easy means
to lower the barriers for the use of GIS by allowing GIS users to ask
questions when they need assistance and to obtain answers from others
that have already addressed those issues and are willing to share what
they have learned.
