Maximizing the "C" in ICT: Producing Your Own Electronic Newsletters.

This article presents advice related to sending one's own electronic newsletters. Electronic newsletters are transmitted by e-mail. They are sent only to those who want them. They differ from e-mail lists as they only disseminate information and do not facilitate discussion. There is no better method to raise the profile of the library media center than incorporating a local, regional, national, or international celebration into its promotional planning. Electronic newsletters help in saving paper, money, and time. If there are only a few people, then the easiest method is to do send an electronic newsletter from one's own computer using one's e-mail client. One will need to enter e-mail addresses manually. One will also have to delete them as required, update and manage them when one's subscribers go on vacation or have other individual requests. There may be individual differences between e-mail clients, but usually one will need to open up one's Address Book, go to the New option in the File menu, and select the New Group option. To send one's newsletter, one should write one's news as an e-mail, and then send to the group one has created in one's address book.
