In 1993, before the Internet became mainstream, there were 20 people who wanted to come together to "talk shop" and share support about their work as research administrators. The result was the Research Administration Discussion List (RESADM-L), run on L-Soft's LISTSERV email list software. Founded as a community for research administrators to discuss and decipher the complexities of applying for and administering government-funded research grants, today RESADM-L brings together about 3,000 professionals in this specialized and highly challenging field.
With a membership that includes research administrators and staff from universities, hospitals, and government and non-profit research labs, RESADM-L is sponsored by the New York state non-profit, Health Research, Inc. (HRI) that founded it in 1993.

The web experience is, without a doubt, increasingly extending beyond personal computers to mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. In the year ahead, email marketing will take an essential role in an environment where more and more potential customers are reading their email.
Not only is it time to consider how websites can be best developed to meet the needs of users who are navigating with their fingertips but future email design will also be influenced more by mobile devices, and the gap between computer email and mobile email will continue to close. As this arena grows, small businesses are starting – or will need to start – designing email marketing campaigns for mobile phones.

Q: How can I use LDAP and Dynamic Query Lists with LISTSERV Maestro?
Answer by Ben Parker
Chief Corporate Consultant, L-Soft
With version 16.0 and later, LISTSERV can connect to an LDAP directory either to authenticate user logins or to return results for Dynamic Query Lists (lists of addresses to be mailed to, resulting from a real-time LDAP query). LISTSERV Maestro can also make use of this Dynamic Query process for doing mailings. LISTSERV Maestro passes the query to LISTSERV, which in turn passes the query to LDAP. Results are returned to LISTSERV, and the mailing is sent out.
