List-servs of interest to Pediatric Educators
What is a list-serv? A list-serv allows groups of people interested in the same topic to discuss topics via e-mail. Those in the list-serv receive notification of all posts to the list-serv can respond. You must sign up for a list-serve and can request to be removed.
COMSEP
The COMSEP listserv is a moderated mailing list of all of the COMSEP members. To use the mailing list to reach the membership, send an e-mail to list@comsep.org. The message will be reviewed by the moderator and posted to the listserv if appropriate. (Commercial products and conference announcements, other than that developed by the membership of COMSEP will not be accepted.) The listserv will accept most attachments. If you feel the replies to your message should go the writer and not to the entire membership, please state in the message to address your reply to the author and not the listserv. (Subscription requires membership in COMSEP)
