Hey, Kerry,
We all struggle at times and it's great to have people join the list who
don't know the jargon/lingo. I started out as one of those people and am
still there in many ways. Those on the list need new blood coming through
so they can be reminded of the basics.
Please contribute, ask questions and don't feel like we'll laugh at you.
We'll try to do that privately. I've tried not to let Laurie, Chris,
Sharon, Glenn et al know that I laugh at them. And they seem to have
extended me the same courtesy! ;-D

Subject: Re: I want out! (Revisited)
When I stated that I was deleting 100 per day, that included the completed
actions from my place of work. (Now I expect you'll think poorly of me for
deleting e-messages at all - is that bad rm practice?) My understanding of
the value of this subscription has increased this morning. Question: what
happens if more than 70 e-mails are sent?
I am taking a records management certification course at the University of
Toronto. I'm finding the course very interesting and a real eye opener,
however a little daunting when I read the more technical e-mails from those
who have been at this for a long time; I feel like my little e-contributions
would be frowned upon. Also, it's often like reading a foreign language.
But I'll take a shot at participating: My current assignment is to compare
a drawer of hard copy material with a related compilation of e-files. I'm
planning on interviewing our bylaw clerk, but we're both stumbling a bit.
Any suggestions?

A little known fact but one often ignored by new subscribers -- you receive
a welcome to the listserv message. this message contains all the information
that you need to handle your subscription.
I often wonder about students who sign up for the list and then fail to
retain the Welcome message. also each message sent out by the list contains
the recmgmt-l-request address. this address is to be used if you are having
problems with your subscription. With 2 listadmins and 1 List Goddess we can
easily handle all trouble messages (some we cann't due to situations beyond
our control)
the listserv is limited to 70 messages per day, not an inordinate amount of
mail. many of us on the list have multiple email accounts and have no
problem handling several hundred emails per day (as well as our telephone
calls). I have a business account, an aol account, 3 yahoos and 1 google.
yeah, yeah multi-tasking
Learn what your email client can do, set up rules, folders etc. these are
skills you will need when you get a job in the world outside of academia
As others have mentioned this is a great place to learn. If your professor
suggested that you should subscribe to this list then there must be reason.
finally if you are student we enjoy having you here, but do let us know you
are here, what school are you attending, what do you hope to get from the
list etc.
no back to doing a cost benefit analysis, a presentation for Records
compliance day and oh year getting ready for a chapter meeting
