Hi All, Last year, I participated in an ARSC committee (I think I,m still a member). I was surprised to learn that a few of the committee members felt that the listserv was hostile and therefore did not participate. The committee members in question are female and I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but if a Facebook group would encourage more participation and diversity, I'm all in. Particularly one that links back to this listserv. Cheers!
