[NABS-L] Purpose of the NABS Email List in the 21st Century?

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Elizabeth,
That's a really interesting topic for discussion.
I think the NABS email list will always be important because not everyone uses social media. Also, the particular social media platforms that are now currently used might be less so in the coming years, when there are new social media platforms.
I also think that, since this is a student list and there are a few still in middle and high school, many parents would feel more comfortable allowing their children to use an email list, which is heavily filtered, rather than Facebook and Twitter, which they might be more hesitant to allow their child to use.
This is a good topic though, and I'm curious to see what others say.

So in the new age of media platforms, how do you see the NABS email list fitting in with these other media platforms?

Do you still see a role for the NABS email list among these new media platforms? If so what do you believe the role of the NABS email list should be among these new media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter?
