1. WHAT IS LA CULTURE NET?
LA Culture Net is a forum in which arts administrators, artists, and anyone passionate about the arts in Los Angeles County can communicate with each other. Originally launched by the Getty Center in 1995 in response to interest from local arts, cultural, and educational institutions, the listserv now exists on its own, with some support provided by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission. Appropriate postings include announcements of arts events, job listings in the field, and cultural policy discussions about all topics, including advocacy.

5. WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE ON LA CULTURE NET?
LA Culture Net is open to anyone interested in the culture of greater Los Angeles: artists, museum curators, activists, programming staff from community organizations, librarians, archivists, and teachers in K-12 and higher education interested in using networks to access
cultural material for curriculum development and classroom instruction. LACN is an unmoderated list, and members are free to un/subscribe or post to the list without the moderator's approval. Only members may post to the list, so there should not be any outside spam posted to this list.
6. HOW MANY MESSAGES WILL I BE GETTING FROM LA CULTURE NET?
As of February 2001, there are about 350 subscribers. Traffic, or mail volume, varies but usually range from 10 to 15 a week. For your convenience, all messages sent to the new LACN address will be tagged with [LACN] in the subject line, so you can easily identify the e-mails sent to LACN-list. Based on common Netiquette and past problems with large unsolicited attachment files, all e-mail attachments sent to LACN will be automatically rejected.
7. WHAT IS THE PREFERRED FORMAT FOR MESSAGES?
First of all, always put your name and email address at the end of every posting, so that other subscribers can easily identify you. It also helps to use a meaningful subject heading, so that people can see if your message deals with a topic that interests them. For job announcements, please include the phrase <JOB:> in the subject heading. For event announcements, please include the phrase <EVENT:> In the subject heading.
Examples:
Subject: JOB: Bilingual archivist wanted in Orange County
Subject: EVENT: LACN Web Raising this Saturday!
