In my case, I am the one who adds people to our GG mailing lists. They do not need to have a Google account if I add them as a member. chanel -- Chanel Wheeler COSUGI 2023 Conference Chair (April 25-27) Systems Librarian Yavapai Library Network 1971 Commerce Center Circle, Suite A Prescott, AZ 86301 Phone: (928) 442-5741 [log in to unmask] Open a help desk ticket -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Shanna Hollich Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2022 6:59 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Hosted MailMan Listserv? [You don't often get email from [log in to unmask] Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] I administer several Google Groups and this is incorrect - you absolutely need a Google Account in order to subscribe to *and participate in* any Google Group. Google's Support page confirms: https://support.google.com/groups/answer/1067205 Note that this doesn't mean you need a Google *email address*. You can register any email address with Google and create a Google account - it does not need to be a Gmail. You can use your institutional address to create an account with Google and subscribe to lists (and I know many people who do just that). But you do need to create an account with Google, and that's going to be a barrier for some people. Up to you to decide if it's an insurmountable one or not.
