The listserv most East Asian librarians read in North America is EASTLIB.   This listserv is co-moderated by Mr. Wooseob Jeong and Ms. Hsi-chu Bolick.

Subscribing to the "Eastlib" Listserv

Since EASTLIB is a "closed" listserv, you cannot subscribe on your own.  EASTLIB is closed in order to block unwanted "spam" messages from outsiders.  Only EASTLIB subscribers can post and receive messages on EASTLIB. 

To subscribe, please send email to Dr. Wooseob Jeong, and include your name and affiliation.

Using The Web-based Control Center for EASTLIB

Since the end of 1999, EASTLIB has used a new listserv program called "LYRIS."  The EASTLIB Listserv on LYRIS is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  LYRIS is a web-based listserv program.  It allows users to post messages, read messages (including the entire archive of EASTLIB messages since January 1995), search messages, change membership settings (such as the LYRIS password), and even unsubscribe to EASTLIB, all via their web browser.

To get started with web-based EASTLIB do the following:

• Go to the EASTLIB page at: http://listserv.unc.edu
• If this is your first time to use the LYRIS service for EASTLIB, you'll need a password.  (Note that only subscribers to EASTLIB are allowed to request a password.)  Type your email address in the box under "Did you forget your password?"
• In a few minutes, the system will send an automated email message to you, including a temporary password.
• Go back to the EASTLIB page and enter your email address and new password under "If you are a member of EASTLIB, please type:"
• After successfully entering the EASTLIB system, you may change your LYRIS settings (including your password).
• It is a good idea to create your own unique password.
