Your LIBS-OR moderators have been monitoring the recent discussion about LIBS-OR policy on the posting of political information. As has been quoted in other posts, here the current policy language:

This list is intended for the sharing of information about the Oregon library community. Possible uses are gift offerings, job announcements, meeting announcements, conference announcements, general training opportunities, and questions about library-related issues.

Messages that relate in any way to political campaigns of candidates for public office or ballot measures may not be posted to libs-or.  Nor should messages be posted that advocate for or against an issue that may come before the Legislative Assembly, the Executive Branch or the Judicial Branch of the State of Oregon.  This prohibition does not apply to issues before the Congress of the United States or other branches of the Federal government.

Libs-OR is not to be used for commercial purposes.

You must be a list member to post messages to the list. All replies to messages are sent to the sender by default.

This language has not been reviewed in some time. Given the recent discussion, the State Library has decided to review the current policy to make sure it is clear and reflects current law and guidelines. We welcome any suggestions from the library community to clarify or improve the language. Please send your suggestions directly to me at: arlene.weible at state.or.us<mailto:arlene.weible at state.or.us> by May 18.
