ALL-SIS Discussion Group Instructions

Greetings from the Topeka hinterland! I wanted to take a moment to explain how to join and participate in the Academic Special Interest Section Discussion group hosted by AALL in Chicago.

Currently, AALL staff automatically subscribe all current members of the SIS to the discussion group in August of each year. Under current policies established by the AALLNET advisory committee, the older subscriber list is purged, and the list of current members is recompiled and replaced.

Some Minor Things to be Aware of?

  1. If your address is incorrect in the AALL database, it will be incorrect in the discussion forum.
  2. If you change your address, or want to subscribe (participate) using some other address, you need to manually subscribe with your new one.
  3. If you want to unsubscribe, you also need to do this manually.

The Fix?

If your address is incorrect in the AALL database, you won't receive messages through the discussion group. If you have any doubts about your address, please check your listing in the database from time to time. The AALLNET web interface is pretty easy.

  1. Go to:  http://www.aallnet.org/
  2. Select member log in
  3. Enter the email address that you use for AALLNET (and is in the AALL database)
  4. Enter your password
  5. Should see “Welcome to the AALL Members Only Section”
  6. Select tab that says, “Edit my record”

To Subscribe?

If you change your address, or want to subscribe (participate) using some other address, you need to manually subscribe with your new one.

  1. Go to:  http://www.aallnet.org/discuss/ and select “AALLNET Online Discussion Center”
  2. Login, by clicking in the upper right hand corner, where is says: “you are not logged in”
  3. Enter the email address that you use for AALLNET
  4. Enter your password
  5. Select the “all forums” tab
  6. Select the group you want to join, and click on the “subscribe” on the far right
  7. Follow the remainder of the instructions (fairly easy)

To Unsubscribe?

Finally, if you want to unsubscribe, you also need to do this manually.

  1. Go to:  http://www.aallnet.org/discuss/ and select “AALLNET Online Discussion Center”
  2. Login, by clicking in the upper right hand corner, where is says: “you are not logged in”
  3. Enter the email address that you use for AALLNET (in the AALL database)
  4. Enter your password
  5. Select the “all forums” tab
  6. Select the group you want to join, and click on the “subscribe” on the right
  7. Follow the remainder of the instructions (fairly easy)
