Thanks to everyone who contributed to this list! I am sharing it with the group as promised. I did not use every single link sent to me, so if you see one missing, feel free to post it back to the group as well. What's below is not all-inclusive; if you would like to point out another agency listserv then by all means post it here. Those of you not in the Land of Lincoln may want to delete the IBHE reference if you reuse this as newsletter filler, etc. Thanks again, -Glenn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many federal agencies have electronic notification services, enabling you to subscribe directly to their bulletins.
