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

[Cory McMahon]

Dear Elizabeth and all:

I'm curious to know from what place this question was generated; for
instance: Is this a question under consideration amongst the NABS
leadership?

I personally find the NABS e-mail list to be of great benefit as I do not
have all the time in the world to be searching my twitter timeline (and the
timeline of others) to determine whether a subject in which I have an
interest has been discussed by fellow students; whereas with e-mail, I am
able to read various subject lines and determine if I desire to open the
e-mail and learn about and/or share my experience on an issue being
discussed.

While I believe efforts should be made to take advantage of various "media
platforms" in terms of outreach, etc. I strongly believe there's certainly a
place for a NABS e-mail list; however, I recognize that I am one person, and
a majority may feel different.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

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

Hello All,

As the National Association of Blind Students reaches out to new members and
new partners, there has been an increase in various media platforms used to
connect with these new members and partners. So in the new age of media
platforms, how do you see the NABS email list fitting in with these other
media platforms?

What do you believe should be the purpose of the NABS email list now that we
use other media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter? 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?

I feel as though the discussion on the NABS email list has decreased as
other media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have become more popular.
So I am just curious if there is still a place for the NABS email list in
the 21st century.

I look forward to receiving your ideas in regards to this matter.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
