Mailing List Service
Summary
DIR maintains a database of "subscribers" to various electronic mailing lists that we host. Authorized users of the DIR listserv system can subscribe to a list with a simple one-step process. When information needs to be distributed to the subscribers on any or all of the mailing lists, a single message is almost instantly broadcast to all members of the lists.
