Division 54 Listserv Instructions and Information
The APA Division 54 listserv provides a forum for members to keep apprised of division activities and pediatric psychology issues, to discuss topics relevant to the field, and to exchange relevant information (e.g., job openings, patient referrals). The areas of discussion are guided by the listserv members and all are welcome and encouraged to participate. Involvement in the listserv is critical to maintain frequent and current discussions, which are educational, practical, and beneficial to its members. The Division 54 listserv is open to all members of SPP and has over 1000 subscribers. The listserv is managed by Lindsey L. Cohen, Ph.D. (Div54@hotmail.com).
Posting Messages:
Members may post messages at any time by emailing to DIV54-MEMBERS@LISTS.APA.ORG. If you are replying to a message posted to the list and you want your response to go only to the specific sender, simply hit reply. If you want your reply to go to the whole list, then you must type in DIV54-MEMBERS@LISTS.APA.ORG into the ‘to’ line of your email.
Subscribing and Unsubscribing from the Listserv:
To join the listserv, send an email to div54@hotmail.com with the command:
ADD DIV54-MEMBERS (Email address) (First name) (Last name) in the body of the message (do not include parentheses and do not write anything in the subject line). For example: ADD DIV54-MEMBERS janedoe@pedpsych.edu Jane Doe
Members may unsubscribe from the list at any time by sending a message to LISTSERV@LISTS.APA.ORG and typing SIGNOFF DIV54-MEMBERS in the body of the message (do not type anything in the subject line of the message).
Listserv Options:
A list of commands/options can be obtained by sending a message to LISTSERV@LISTS.APA.ORG with the words INFO REFCARD in the body of the message (do not type anything in the subject line of the message).
Listserv Rules:
Rule 1: Do not use the forum for illegal purposes, including but not limited to defamation, violation of intellectual property laws, violation of antitrust or unfair competition laws or violation of criminal laws.
Rule 2: Do not intentionally interfere with or disrupt other forum members, network services, or network equipment. This includes distribution of unsolicited advertisement or chain letters, propagation of computer worms and viruses, and use of the network to make unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible via the Forum.
Rule 3: Do not use the Forum for commercial purposes. "Commercial" as used for purposes of evaluating listserv messages means communications whose primary purpose is to advance the business or financial interests of any person or entity, or otherwise to promote a financial transaction for the benefit of the author directly or indirectly. Examples of prohibited communications include advertisements for products or services, notices regarding rental of office space, or direct solicitations of listserv members to purchase products or services. Examples of messages that may be of financial benefit to listserv members but are not prohibited because they do not inure to the financial benefit of the author include news of job listings or position openings, or discussion of professionally-related products or services where the listserv member conveying the information is not in the business of selling the products or services. Announcements that provide useful professional information to List members but may also have some incidental commercial benefit to the sender (e.g., an author who is a listmember merely advising the List of publication of a professional book) typically would not be “commercial” for purposes of this restriction.
Rule 4: Do not use this forum for any communication that could be construed in any way as support for or opposition to any candidate for a federal, state or local public office. The Federal law providing for the American Psychological Association's tax exempt status absolutely forbids the use of APA resources or facilities, including this forum, in any way that would even appear to support or oppose such a political candidate.
Rule 5: Maintain client confidentiality when discussing clinical issues.
Rule 6: The list may not be used for electioneering (e.g., campaigning, solicitation of support)
If you break these rules then you will be unsubscribed.
Thank you for participating in the APA Division 54 Listserv.
