Bethany, yes, thank you. This is a very interesting offer. 

Everybody, please share with the rest of us your opinion about our mailing list’s domain. This need to move from the University of Notre Dame is a possible opportunity to have our list come from the cod4lib.org domain. For example, the address of the list might become [log in to unmask] If it moved to Google, then the address might be [log in to unmask] Is the list’s address important for us to brand?
