E-newsletters & mailing lists for Information professionals

We recommend the AUKML and the SLA News Division discussion lists (non-members can post to both). Find out how to join and post from this page.

Freepint
Freepint's busy discussion list and monthly newsletter are used by and contributed to by information professionals and researchers of all kinds and across all sectors.

Internet Resources Newsletter
The latest useful web and other online resources from Roddy McLeod of Heriot-Watt university. Roddy's list of essential current awareness tools, as outlined at the 2005 AUKML conference, can be found here.

LIS-PROFESSION
Jiscmail-administered list run for anyone interested in issues relevant to librarians, including CILIP non-members. Postings vary from events notification, comments on CILIP activities to heated discussions on general information-world issues.

Research Buzz
US Librarian Tara Calishain's newsletter for internet searching tips, especially finding news and current events on the Web.

Resourceshelf
Gary Price's current awareness blog, updated daily, is full of new websites and other useful resources for information professionals.
