Mailing Lists (Listservs)
Mailing lists are informal discussion groups that allow information exchange via email. To join such a discussion group, you need to subscribe by sending a specifically formatted email message to a computer that will add you to the distribution list for that group (some groups provide an online subscription form as an alternative to sending an email to sign up). Once you're on the list, you will receive email notes from other members of the group, and you can send your own notes so that everyone in the group can read them and respond to them.
