Good Morning Colleagues,
 
I would tremendously appreciate a locked blog.  The ability to break off into differing threads of interest without risking disturbing a valued colleague would be wonderful.  
 
I am interested in starting threads on these topics:
     
     Teaching issues and solutions for non-selective open enrollment universities
     Professors with parenting challenges
     Copyright law topics
     Non-profit business topics
     Humor
     Colleague support help line
     Tenure and Promotion
     Sports 
 
Just a wishlist for the future.  I do not see that the current email system serves everyone equally well, although it has been very valuable in the past.  I certainly would not want to impose a burden on the officers of ALSB who do so much for us already.  
 
Thanks for all you do,
Pam Gershuny
Southeast Missouri

It need not be Facebook per se.  A locked blog would work as well, probably better.  The chief advantage would be the ability to skim the posts quickly and cherry-pick the discussions one wants to follow.  (Despite everyone's best efforts, this has not happened on the mailing list.)

NB, the security/privacy issues on FB wouldn't exist for a locked page anyway.  (In general,  I have yet to see such an issue that couldn't be resolved in five minutes by flipping the settings.  But I get it that people are cautious.)

I may be the only one, but I don't use Facebook and am not interested in starting.

E-mail is a 1990s mechanism for our discussions.  What would people think of shifting to something like a Facebook group?  The discussions would be easier to follow in one stream.  Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this.
