Dear SHERA listserv subscribers,

Changes must be made to the SHERA listserv, as it can no longer be hosted
by Oakland University.

*Please, respond to this survey regarding these changes.
<https://goo.gl/forms/tXOMqlMxFCXuIZEe2>*

The SHERA Board has agreed unanimously to switch to H-NET (
https://networks.h-net.org) as the basis for our communications starting
with the election of new officers in January. These changes will affect the
duties of the future listserv administrator.

Here are the main reasons why:

1) ease and versatility of organization, allowing us to set up a variety of
blogs, discussions, reviews, databases;

2) security of archiving past discussions (unlike Google, which is
sometimes unreliable in terms of maintaining its groups' archives, H-NET is
non-profit and committed to archiving);

3) ease of posting -- subscribers can upload their posting themselves
(editors just help tag them in order to organize them accordingly on the
website);

4) Notifications of postings will be coming to all subscribers=E2=80=99 ema=
il
addresses

The one drawback of H-NET is that subscribers cannot just hit a reply
button to respond to the posting directly, but have to log into the H-NET
website to post their response.

In response to that, the SHERA Board will consider founding a Google Group
in addition to joining H-NET. This will provide SHERA with a traditional
listserv to which people can send and respond to queries directly via
email.

Thank you,
SHERA Board
