Mailshare

A Mailshare (or listserv) is basically a discussion group operated by email. Mailshares allow Internet email users to place themselves on electronic mailing lists. Information is automatically distributed by email from one party to all members on the list. When you subscribe to a list, your name and email address is added to the list. NMU's Mailshare allows students, faculty, and staff to subscribe to numerous campus-wide mailing lists.
