*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:

*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
