[Libs-Or] Lib-OR User Guidelines - revision now available

[Arlene Weible]

Thanks to everyone that provided feedback on the Libs-Or User Guidelines.

The revised guidelines are now available from the Libs-Or information page: http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or

In addition to specific guidelines, the revision includes suggested etiquette for posts:

Like our libraries, Libs-Or is a space for expressing diverse opinions and ideas that include
fundamental respect for the rights, dignity and value of all persons. In order to foster diverse
and frank dialogue, mutual respect, and a sense of community among all LIBS-OR subscribers,
please consider the following as you compose messages:

* Engage in a professional, congenial dialogue. Many people may eventually see the
messages you post on Libs-Or. They may include individuals you know, patrons,
coworkers, or someone you may employ, or seek employment from, in the future.

* Frame discussions as openly and inclusively as possible and be aware of how language
or images may be perceived by others

* Play well with others. Disturbance of the general peace and personal insults and attacks
are inappropriate, as is using profanity or expressions of obscenity, sexism, racism, and
other types of prejudice. Remember that disagreeing with an idea is different from
attacking an individual.

* Please be cautious about using sarcasm and humor. Without nonverbal cues and voice
tone, "subtle" humor can easily be interpreted as searing sarcasm.

* Please keep comments consistent with the subject and purpose of the conversation.
Deliberate disruption -- such as consistent off-topic commentary - is not appropriate for
this forum.
