The VIVA listservs are VIVA's primary means of communicating with VIVA member librarians throughout the Commonwealth. Messages generally involve VIVA committee announcements and VIVA requests for comments from the Virginia higher education library community. Vendor promotions, external event notices, job postings, and other announcements not directly related to VIVA’s mission and operations are not appropriate postings to these listservs.
