Finding Your Listserv Password

If you need to make a change to your NHAIS-L or NHAIS-ILL listserv subscription and have forgotten your listserv password you can ask the listserver to send it to you at the email address where you are subscribed to the list.

  • Go to the info page for the list you need your passoword for (NHAIS-ILL or NHAIS-L)
  • Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page where there is a section with the word "Subscribers" in the title bar
  • In that section is a button that says "Unsubscribe or Edit Options." Enter your email address into the box next to that button then click the button (it won't unsubscribe you, it just takes you to another page where you can do stuff)
  • At the bottom of the page that displays is a section called "Password Reminder." Click on the button in that section marked "remind"
  • In the top left corner of the screen a message will appear that says "A reminder of your password has been emailed to you."
  • The email message with your password in it will be delivered to the address you entered (which must match the one at which you are subscribed to that listserv) within a few minutes. If it doesn't turn up, check your spam folders.
If you have problems with the NHAIS-L or NHAIS-ILL lists you should contact the NHAIS Help Desk for assistance (271-2141)

Friday is Deadline for Public Library Reports!

Janet Eklund reports that to date over 100 libraries have NOT submitted their Annual Public Library Statistics Report. About 75% of these started their surveys but never finished.
The deadline for completing these is Friday, April 6th!
I would like to urge you to make this an important task to accomplish this week.

Enter your annual report data online at: http://collect.btol.com
Username and password remain the same as last year. If you need your login info, or if you need any assistance with the survey, contact Janet Eklund,  Administrator of Library Operations, New Hampshire State Library, at 603-271-2393 or janet.eklund@dcr.nh.gov

 Many thanks to all the librarians who took the time to submit their surveys already.
