Important Update Regarding LIS-Forum Service Interruption
by Francis Jayakanth 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Dear LIS-Forum Community, I hope you're doing well. As many of you know, the LIS-Forum has been an invaluable platform for scholarly discussions and knowledge sharing for nearly 30 years. However, I regret to tell you that we recently experienced some challenges impacting the service. Over the last couple of years, we have encountered intermittent disruptions due to issues related to the delivery of bulk emails. Specifically, the sheer volume of messages—9,000 to 10,000 emails daily— has occasionally led to service downtime. I understand how frustrating this has been for our dedicated members, and I sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. Recently, the LIS-Forum experienced an extended downtime of approximately 45 days. The root cause was once again related to limitations imposed by Microsoft 365 on our bulk email distribution. As the sole administrator, I manage the LIS-Forum without any support. Balancing this responsibility with my full-time job has been challenging. To ensure uninterrupted service, I am actively exploring online hosting services. While this transition may involve recurring costs, it promises enhanced service reliability. I appreciate your patience and continued engagement with the LIS-Forum. I hope this communication reaches all the members so that they are aware of the reasons for the service being down. Thanks and best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata Memorial Library IISc, Bengaluru -560012
