Forums · Discussion Groups
Differences between a Listserv and a Forum:- A listserv is an e-mail based mailing list.
A Forum is a website composed of a number of member written threads.
- A listserv automatically delivers the message to all subscribed users.
A Forum can require the users to visit the website to view the threads.
- A listserv does not allow you to edit or delete a message once it has been sent.
A Forum allows users to edit or delete (or request a post be deleted) their own posts.
- Most Listservs do not provide the ability to e-mail and share documents/attachments.
A Forum may provide an environment that allows you to post and share documents/attachments.
RMAA Records and Information Management Forum
The Records Management Association of Australia has developed a web based Forum/ Discussion Board
for you all to be able to collaborate ideas, share hints and tips, as well as to seek advice from other records and information management practitioners.
A Forum can require the users to visit the website to view the threads. For the RMAA User Discussion Forum, we have enabled you to configure RSS Feeds that allow you to see a summary of posts via an aggregator and E-mail digests that will notify you via e-mail when a new post or thread has been added to the Forum.
