Though PUBLIB has gotten harder to use in recent years it is still possible to search the list archive. If you go to <a href="http://listserv.oclc.org/archives/publib.html" target="_blank">http://listserv.oclc.org/archives/publib.html</a> and then enter something like "local authors" in the search box labeled <li>
<label for="subject">The <a href="http://listserv.oclc.org/scripts/wa.exe?SHOWTPL=SEARCH-HELP&L=publib#SUBJECT"><font color="#c95000">subject</font></a> is
or contains I think you will find some postings exactly related to what you want to do. I tried using the general search box and that did not work as well for this subject.</label></li><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 4:10 PM, Mayer, Rebecca <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:RMAYER@westlinnoregon.gov" target="_blank">RMAYER@westlinnoregon.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>
