ALA Online Community Platform / Listserve

As you have seen from communications from ALA Headquarters, ALA HQ has moved the community listserve to a new platform. The new platform has more features (direct messages, polls, hashtags, etc.) and a more intuitive interface.

Reading between the lines for this change, the community is now accessed online only – there is no longer a single email address to use to post to the listserve communities.

Therefore, please bookmark the ALA website (alanet.org), so that you have easy access to post to our fellow chapter members. 

  • Go to ALANET.org.
  • Select the “3 orange heads” icon to open the listserve platform.
  • Log in and select the Silicon Valley group in the left navigation.
  • Under Activity, post a message to the community.
  • Manage delivery notifications: Off, Realtime, Daily, Weekly

Add @ala.tradewing.com to your Safe Senders list so that messages are not directed to the spam folder.
