Overview
LISTSERV software enables e-mail users to create and maintain large e-mail lists. Announcements, newsletters, moderated and open discussion groups are supported. List sizes can range from a few participants in a discussion group to several hundred or even thousands. Your lists can be maintained and used by one or more people.
These lists can be used for one-way or two-way communication among the members of the lists depending on how the list is configured.
- Examples of one-way communication include the distribution of announcements and newsletters.
- Examples of two-way communication include moderated and un-moderated discussion groups. The number of members in a list can range from a few participants in a discussion group to several hundred or even thousands.

FAQs
Is LISTSERV training required?
Yes, JMU requires LISTSERV training for owners and moderators before access to a new LISTSERV is given. If you own or moderate existing LISTSERV and are requesting a new LISTSERV, training is still required if you have not already attended.
