Reposted from Web4 Lib according to Erin Germ ~

With the help of Eric Lease Morgan, an official *listserv has been created. Blake Carver, Eric, and (Erin Germ) will be managing the listserv to start.

List address:

  • sec4lib@listserv.nd.edu

List archives web page

  •  http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/sec4lib.html

To join the SEC4LIB listserv please visit the above URL.

If you have already joined the SEC4LIB Google Group, I will be importing those members into the SEC4LIB nd.edu listserv in a week or two. If you do not want your contact information imported into the nd.edu SEC4LIB listserv, please remove yourself from the Google Group by Wednesday, May 16th.

Blake Carver, lisnews, security4lib.org

I jumped the gun and set up a this  site yesterday at: https://sec4lib.wordpress.com/

I didn’t realize that Blake Carver with http://lisnews.com  already had a sophisticated site and a list with a very similar name up a running.  I am reposting his info here to help advertise his site:

Oh! Glad to see so much interest, this has been a big topic for me lately.
I have a new(ish) site and list running at http://security4lib.org/
The list is here:
http://lists.security4lib.org/listinfo.cgi/security4lib-security4lib.org
I set that site up a few months ago, but never had time to finish
things up, so if anyone is interested in contributing to the site or
the wiki or anything else let me know.
I’ve been writing and presenting on IT Security for Libraries for a
while now, you can find my writings and slides on LISNews:

 -Blake Carver

I will be leaving this WordPress site up as a place for contributors who want to publish their thoughts and research on library infosec.  I have a few papers that I have written that I will be sharing soon once I finish out this semester.
