As a result, some membershave missed notification about membership renewal,the annual meeting, call for papers or awards, andother important announcements. Some of theproblems we can attribute to the rather antiquatedmailing list software available through our webhosting provider. The dot com part of the sendingaddress caused many messages to end up inmembers’ junk mail or spam folders.To avoid some of these pitfalls, we have sent up anew distribution list at the home institution of theAAHM secretary. Now you will receive officialannouncements and notifications from LIB-AAHML@lists.vcu.edu. We hope the use of the “edu”domain will allow messages to be received on aregular basis. Please contact Jodi Koste atjlkoste@vcu.eduif you believe you are still unable toreceive messages from the list.
