What is a LISTSERV?
A LISTSERV is general term that refers to "an electronic mailing list program that allows an individual to participate in electronic discussion groups on thousands of topics via e-mail." The University of Georgia hosts over 2000 lists for faculty, administrators, and student organizations, in support of the University System of Georgia mission.
