In order to aid editors and webmasters for all iris publications, we
have established a new Yahoogroups forum. The objective is to enable
a flow of information and exchange of resources and contacts so we
don't have to "go it alone"! Many of us have the good fortune to
have "editor buddies" to give advice but we all feel that we are
either "re-inventing the wheel" or very often "spinning our wheels"
getting interesting and pertinent material for the publication we are
working on. A forum like Yahoogroups allows the posts to be archived
so information on articles, contacts and issues can be available to
all those who need the info instead of wearing out our welcome
with "our buddies".
Editors/Webmasters are a tenacious lot - work for fun (that means
mostly FREE), spend lots of time soliciting interesting articles
(that means whining sometimes), balance needs of readers, budget and
board members as to content and cost (that means taking the grief for
a less than stellar publication). I personally think that if we can
collectively share ideas of "what works" it will be an advantage for
all.
Iris publications and websites are very important to all Iris related
groups - most AIS Regions have a publication - either Bulletin or
newsletter, all AIS Sections have one and many local affiliates
produce a newsletter. Quality publications are THE most important
aspect of soliciting/maintaining membership in any Society!
This is not a forum to discuss iris topics - only iris publications
and websites! By its very purpose, it will have a "restricted"
membership (which means subscriptions will have to be approved).
Please subscribe if you are involved with an iris
publication. Any questions, contact me at:GormleyGreenery@aol.com
We urge all of you to pass this forum information on to the Editor of
your National, Regional, Local publication and ask them to join us in
efficiently sharing the wealth of information.
