GEIL -- GIS Educators Illinois (GEIL)
About GEIL	English (USA)
Welcome to the GIS Educators Illinois (GEIL) listserv. Its purpose is to establish and maintain discussion and collaboration among GIS educators in Illinois concerning news, issues, and topics relevant to group members. Please observe listserv etiquette: -Include a signature tag on all messages. -Include your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address. -State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject. -Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information, and put your response before the original posting. -Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that benefits everyone. Once more, please only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that benefits everyone. -Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals--not to the entire list. Do this by using your e-mail application's forwarding option and typing in or cutting and pasting in the e-mail address of the individual to whom you want to respond. -Do not send administrative messages, such as "remove me from the list", through the listserv. To unsubscribe from the list, follow the directions at the bottom of the listserv email message. -When using an Auto Reply message for times you are out of the office, please be sure to "Create a Rule" (this is easily done with Microsoft Outlook’s Out of Office Assistant) that would prohibit sending the message to the list. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the GEIL Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
