Added link to code of conduct
will learn a thing or two along the way...
Now-a-days, the list is much more general and about the overall use of computers in libraries. As of this writing, there are about 3,800 900 subscribers, mostly from the United States, and the list sees about half a dozen postings per week.
The mailing list is an implementation of the venerable LISTSERV software, and it is generously hosted by the Digital Library Federation (DLF) / Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR).

When posting, please be respectful of other people's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. See the Code4Lib Code Of Conduct for more detail: https://github.com/code4lib/code-of-conduct/blob/main/code_of_conduct.md Also, in this day and age of anonymous and , obtuse , and obsufcated email addresses, you are encouraged (but not required) to sign any postings with your real name and affiliation.
The mailing list is archived in at least a few places:
Once submitted there, the posting gets forwarded to the mailing list as well made available in a browsable format.
At the same time, many people do not want to see the job postings, and most people can configure that as well. One way to do that is to log into the LISTSERV website and configure your "topics". Once you have created a username/password combination, you can do the configuration:
http://lists.clir.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=CODE4LIB
Alternatively, if you do not want to get the job postings, you can configure the same thing via email:
mailto:listserv@lists.clir.org?body=set%20code4lib%20topics:%20-jobs
Unfortunately, if you subscribe to the list via digest mode, then filtering by topics is not an option. From the LISTSERV documentation:
Finally, it is important to note that topics are active only when
your subscription is set to MAIL. Digests are indexes always
contain all the postings that were made because the same digest
is prepared and sent to all the subscribers.
Finally, there is a real live person behind the mailing list. If you have any questions or need technical support, then don't hesitate to drop me -- '''Eric Lease Morgan''' -- an email message at emorgan@nd.edu.
