IIER Alerts: Emailing list notification of new issues

Readers are invited to subscribe to IIER Alerts in order to receive an email notification upon the publication of each new issue of IIER. Subscribing is very easy, and of course it is a free subscription, just use one of the following two methods:

• Use EdNA's page Subscribe to IIER
  or
• Use your email software to send a blank email to join-iier@edna.edu.au

Whichever method you use, the list server software at EdNA will send a confirmation request to your address to verify that the subscribe request is authentic. If you are uncertain about whether you are subscribed to IIER Alerts, just send a subscribe request anyway, and the listserver will either subscribe you or confirm that you are subscribed already.

The immediate purpose for IIER Alerts is to replace the 'alert' function provided prior to 2008 by the postal delivery of a printed copy of the journal. Having retired print (see Editorial 17(2) for details), we need now to introduce a technologically mediated form of 'alerting'. The expected frequency of IIER Alerts emailings is about three per year, depending on the number of articles accepted for publication. The content of each notification will be the newly published issue's table of contents, plus, occasionally, other related information such as invitations to contribute to an IIER special issue on an educational research topic.

To unsubscribe from IIER Alerts, just follow the instructions in the last dispatch you received from the list. If you encounter difficulty with unsubscribing, or subscribing, ask the list administrators (addresses in footer below) for assistance. Note that if an address fails to receive a dispatch from IIER Alerts, the Lyris server will try resends over a period of three days and if unsuccessful, then will unsubscribe the address. The file containing addresses of subscribers is visible only to the IIER Alerts administrators (addresses in footer below). Subscribers' addresses will not be divulged to others and will be used only for IIER Alerts purposes. Postings to IIER Alerts by persons other than the administrators are not permitted.

We record our warm appreciation of EdNA's great work for the education community, including the Lyris based Lists service, the Moodle based Groups service, and many other services named on EdNA's Home Page.
