[SFFLibraries-L] Welcome to SF&F Libraries -- the listserv

[Leslie Kay Swigart]

Welcome to the Science Fiction & Fantasy Libraries Listserv, or 
SFFLibraries-L.

♦ We are an informal listserv community of librarians, archivists, 
bibliographers, and others professionally and/or personally concerned 
with the literature of the fantastic (science fiction, fantasy, horror, 
utopian, dystopian, etc.) in all media.

♦ We are interested in issues of acquisition, organization, 
conservation, preservation, dissemination, bibliography, and scholarship 
of the materials both physical and digital which constitute the body of 
work (literary, visual, aural, and digital) called the fantastic.

♦ We exchange and disseminate information and views regarding issues 
such as:

a) the use of those bibliographic and other resources already available;

b) the development of (bibliographic and other) resources needed by 
scholars;

c) the identification of potential collections of materials in need of 
acquisition or preservation for scholarly purposes;

d) the exchange, as appropriate, of duplicate or locally inappropriate 
materials.

♦ We would like to facilitate:

e) the encouragement of educational opportunities and training for 
current and potential librarians, archivists, and others concerned with 
these materials;

f) the presentation of panels, discussions, poster session, etc., to 
discuss these issues.
