The email discussion group covers the topic of online GILS (Government Information Locator Systems), especially at the U.S. state government level. We are primarily composed of librarians, archivists, MIS professionals, records management professionals, and vendors concerned with issues involved in the creation, technology, content selection, and state agency and public access for these GILS information systems. We are not restricted to the state government GILS applications. Many of us are also involved in local government GILS coverage; in U.S. federal and international or foreign GILS information systems topics.
Here's my introductory message for you:

Dear state-gils subscriber,
Welcome as a subscriber to
state-gils@egroups.com. This list is for
discussions and communications between
individuals involved in the
implementation and operation of
"Government Information Locator
Systems." These state GILS systems are
becoming important citizen and public
information resources.
This email discussion list continues the
original st-gils list originally hosted
by the Oregon State Library. That list
was a successful operation, but our ad
hoc GILS interest group agreed at the 2d
Annual GILS Meeting that we would move
the list to the commercial eGroups
mailing list service, because of the
added functions.
The eGroups.com advertising-supported
Web mailing list service offers a
variety of features and options that
promise to add value to our forum. Some
of these obvious feature improvements
include:
* Mailing list archive, searchable.
* Polling facility, for quick online
votes or decision-making, straw polls.
* "Vault," or online space for
document-sharing, uploading, file
transfer, etc.
* Basic database facility for group
information.
* Group Calendaring.
* Online conferencing or "chatting,"
for group conferencing.
* Voice-conferencing, Web-based.
We hope you find state-gils to be a
productive communication service to
support your GILS interests.
