Email List for MSLA Members
MSLAmembers@yahoogroups.com is a private email list and exclusive benefit of membership in MSLA.

All members are invited to subscribe to the MSLAmembers list when they first join MSLA or renew a lapsed membership.  Members will receive an invitation from Yahoo Groups to join the list, and must reply to that email to activate their subscription.

​Alternatively, a subscription to the list can be requested by sending a blank email message to MSLAmembers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Members are removed from the list if their membership lapses.

MSLAmembers Guidelines 

The email list allows our members to seek assistance and share information with colleagues in school libraries across the state.
  • List membership is restricted to current MSLA members.
  • Discussion is limited to professional matters concerning school library programs.
  • Reply to the message’s original poster, not to the entire list.
  • Original posters should compile responses and repost them to the list.
  • Advertising is prohibited.
  • Please identify yourself when posting a message by listing your name, school name, location (city), and email address. 
​To post a message to the list, simply send an email to:
MSLAmembers@yahoogroups.com
To unsubscribe from the list, send a blank email message to:
MSLAmembers-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com 
​​For help with your subscription, contact:
MSLAmembers-owner@yahoogroups.com  

Steps for Adding the MSLAmembers Group to Your Yahoo Account 

If you are having trouble finding the MSLAmembers List on the Yahoo Groups web site, follow these helpful instructions.
​

​Options for Message Delivery 

You may visit the Yahoo! Groups web site to modify your subscription to receive messages in a daily digest or to set your subscription to “no mail”. To set any of these options, go to My Groups and choose from the drop-down list of message delivery options for your group.
​Individual Emails
Messages are delivered one at a time to your email inbox. This is the best option if you want to keep up on the latest posts immediately. Email attachments, if included in a message and allowed by your moderator, will be sent directly to you.
​Daily Digest
Messages are delivered in batches of 25 or daily, whichever comes sooner. This is the best option if you want to receive fewer mail messages and don't need up-to-the minute posts in your inbox. Email attachments are not available in digests.
No Mail / Web Only
This option puts email message delivery on hold, for example while you are on vacation. If message archives are available, this option also permits you to read messages at the Yahoo! Groups web site. Note that message archive options are determined by each moderator, and that some groups have no web message archives.
