The Oswego Daily is a communication service for the college's faculty and staff and should be used as an alternative means to distribute information traditionally distributed on paper. It is a digested listserve distributed each day around 6 AM. Messages sent to
oswegodaily-list@ls.oswego.edu will be collected daily and assembled into a single message. The top of each Oswego Daily message will display a list of the topics/messages included in that message.
This service being pilot tested in Spring of 2009, will initially subscribe all faculty and staff. Any faculty or staff member can unsubscribe themselves if they choose not to receive the Oswego Daily. Subsequently, any faculty or staff member can re-subscribe if they wish to resume receiving the Oswego Daily. All new faculty and staff will be subscribed.
The Oswego Daily is intended to communicate non-critical, college-related and faculty and staff related information to the faculty and staff community. The Oswego Daily is not intended for the communication of strictly personal or non-college-related information.
Messages sent to the Oswego Daily should be as brief as possible and, whenever appropriate, contain links to other information resources such as web pages. Messages should be limited to approximately 150 words.
Messages sent to the Oswego Daily should contain basic pertinent information - who, what, when, where, why and how much if an event or activity is not free.
Messages sent to the Oswego Daily should contain contact information (email and telephone number) for the appropriate person who can provide additional details.
Messages sent to the Oswego Daily may not include attachments of any kind.
Critical information that needs to be communicated broadly to faculty and staff and/or is time sensitive should still be channeled through the appropriate Vice President's office or the President's office for distribution through the established email distribution lists.
