Manage a Current ListServ

List owners are responsible for adding and removing list members. List owners can manage their current list(s) at http://lists.ou.edu.  

To Manage a List:

1. Go to http://lists.ou.edu.
2. Click List Owners’ Page.
3. Click Log In on the right side.
   • If an owner has not setup their password, they will need to click Get Password.
4. Any managed lists will show up in My Lists.

To Bulk Add Members to a List:

1. List users can subscribe multiple email addresses to a LISTSERV List by creating and uploading an Excel file in Text format. 
   1. Format the Excel file with one person per row.
   2. In the first column, enter the email address.
   3. In the second column, enter the first name.
   4. In the third column, enter the last name.
   5. Be sure there are no spaces or headers in the cells.
   6. Save the document to your computer as a Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt) file. 
   7. Make sure the .txt file is formatted as email@ou.edu First name Last name for each line
      
       
2. Once the file is saved, you need to upload it to the LISTSERV List.
   1. Log into the LISTSERV (lists.ou.edu).
   2. Click List Management.
   3. Click Subscriber Report, then click the "Bulk Operations" link right above the text box to add a single subscriber.
   4. There will be several options such as "Add imported subscribers to "list"; do not remove any subscribers" - select the most appropriate option.
   5. Browse for the text file and click "Import".
   6. This should work, however an error may be thrown if the manager has not allowed bulk import for this particular List.
      
       
3. Successful imports should result in a blue font confirmation message (see below). Error messages are in red font.
