This post about the disappearance of an academic discussion group's
archive may be of interest to some members of this list. This is
especially true in light of the fact that as far as I can tell the
archives of a major discussion group for reference librarians, Dig_Ref, as
far as I can tell has archives that have gone AWOL. Some other archives
for discussion groups for librarians are private for list members only.
This in a profession that is twittering and tweeting about the need to
Facebook as many forms of outreach as possible on their space.
Librarians who as a profession abhor censorship, except sometimes on some
librarian oriented lists when folks post off topic to some of their lists,
should be allowing the world to see and learn from the deliberations by
members of their profession. Defective archives should be repaired,
augmented or replaced.
Lists that close their archives from public view should consider the
reference value of the posts sent to these lists and consider opening
these archives for use by the public.
Therefore, this post about the saga of the archives and other server
problems on the MEDIEV-L discussion group may be of interest to some
members of this list.
