Dear Saji S Nair, I strongly believe that such discussions must be free from filtration and objections. Regards Rupak Chakravarty Assistant Professor Department of Library and Information Science Panjab University Chandigarh 160014 INDIA Ph: 1722534774 On 2/9/2010 4:23 PM, Saji S Nair wrote:
Dear All,
Thanks to Internet, as we have a plenty of email discussion forums in LIS. In India, some of the discussion lists are moderated by List Owners, but others are free-for-all discussion groups without message filtering measures.
Currently, the number of messages appearing in moderated lists is meagre when compared to the other category. If email from subscribers to a moderated list is not got posted, it is quite natural that they may bypass such lists. Is it a welcome trend? It is argued that any member of a list can take part in a conversation or begin a new topic without any difficulties.
The question is:
Is there any need for rigorous reviewing/filtering measures in moderated email discussion forums in LIS?
