Listserv
EduTech, as a partner of the North Dakota University System (NDUS), offers access to Listserv e-mail list software. This software creates a very flexible environment to efficiently communicate with large numbers of people.
You could create a list named SDT-OURGROUP and subscribe all the people in your organization to the list. Then when you (or anyone) needs to send mail to these people, simply send the message to SDT-OURGROUP@listserv.nodak.edu and it is distributed to all subscribers. Unlike address books (which would have to be updated on every computer in your organization), an e-mail list only needs to be changed one time on the server – changes are effective immediately.
Requesting E-mail Lists
Any staff member of an EduTech member school or organization may request a Listserv e-mail list by filling out the online e-mail list request form. The list owner must have a valid EduTech account, and list management must be performed via their SENDIT e-mail address.
Managing E-mail Lists
Lists may be managed via e-mail or the web. For most purposes, the web interface is much easier to use.
- With your web browser, go to http://listserv.nodak.edu and click on List Owner Management. Log in with your Listserv password.
- If you do not have a Listserv password (or do not remember what it is) click on the link to "Get a New Listserv Password". You'll be given instructions on how to change and validate a password for list management.
- Once you have logged in to the List Owner Management section, you can type the name of your list (for example SDT-OURGROUP) into the space provided and click on the appropriate button to manipulate the subscribers, configuration (advanced list owners only please), and other functions.
- Any changes you make to the list are active immediately after you click "OK" or "Submit" or similar button on the editing page.
