Application for LISTSERV Distribution List

If you are a faculty/staff member, you may use this form to request a new LISTSERV mail distribution list on the LISTSERV.ALBANY.EDU server. Before completing this form, you should check to ensure that no existing list suits your needs.
Fields marked with * are optional.
Click on the highlighted links for help on a particular item (help will appear in a new window).
1. List Name (12 characters or less)
  Is this list for a class?

If this list is for a class, and could be used again another semester, ITS recommends that you append an abbreviation for the term at the end of your list name. (i.e. HIS101-S04 for History 101 Spring 2004 semester; HIS101-F04 for History 101 Fall 2004 semester.) This is to avoid problems with archiving each semester's lists when they're re-used for another semester.
