Hi, my name is Nicky Ransom and I tweet as @nckyrnsm, although not very often. I use it mostly for work-related stuff, but I do find that during the day I have no time to look at it, and so I end up looking in the evening but not on a very regular basis. When I do have time to look and tweet, I find it useful for seeing what is going on, but I must admit that I struggle with the best way to fit Twitter into my professional life. I subscribe to a lot of RSS feeds and mailing lists, and that is where I generally get most of my updates from.

I don't blog, although I do enjoy reading others' when I get the time, and feel that this would be a useful activity if I could find the time, mostly in terms of self-reflection. 

This sounds as though it's going to be a very useful eforum, but being a bit snowed under at work at the moment, I'm not sure I'll be dropping in as much as I have with previous ones. I'll definitely read it all later though.

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG e-forum on social media in the cataloguing community guidance

Good Morning,

I hope you are looking forward this week's CIG e-forum on social media.
Below is some general information on how the CIG e-forum will work:

1.  The CIG e-forum discussion takes place using email.  When the
moderators kick off discussion, you will receive an email message.  To
participate, you simply send messages to [log in to unmask] or
respond to an email sent to you.  The settings are designed so that
responses go to the entire list.  There is no special software or
interface that you have to use.

2.  If you're busy and you would like to receive fewer emails, you can
change your the settings to digest format.  Go to:
http://jiscmail.ac.uk/CIG-E-FORUM, log in using the email and
password that you received when you signed up for the list.  Choose
"Subscriber's Corner" (top left) and go into the settings. Choose the
CIG-E-FORUM settings and change "subscription type" to "digest MIME
format".  The digest is set to provide one message per 25 messages sent
to the list.

3.  If you want to participate fully in the CIG e-forum, but want to
keep the email messages separate from other email, you can probably set
up a filter in your mail client, which will have CIG e-forum messages
directly delivered to a folder of your choice, as opposed to your in-box
(just don't forget to check the folder!), or flag the messages to alert
you that they are e-forum messages. To help with setting up filters, all
messages have the phrase "[CIG-E-FORUM]" in the subject line.

4. Finally, If you wish to unsubscribe completely, go to
http://jiscmail.ac.uk/CIG-E-FORUM and you should see the option
"unsubscribe" under Options across the top.  The entire discussion today
will be available at the above url as well, if you'd prefer to read it
later.  You can always re-subscribe to the list at a later date if a
future topic is of interest to you.
