Email Don’t ‘s
Do NOT write in all capital letters. WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS CALLED SHOUTING AND SIGNIFIES THAT YOU ARE ANGRY OR RESPONDING EMOTIONALLY.
Do NOT flame other students. Flaming is responding to a heated or touchy topic in the heat of emotions. If someone writes you a message that annoys you or makes you angry, compose a message but wait a few hours or a day before sending it. Once you hit the SEND button, you cannot retrieve your message.
Do NOT spam other patrons. Spam is unwanted, unsolicited email, often commercial in nature. Don’t sign other patrons up to receive offers and advertisements.
23
Email Do’s
Think carefully before using the FORWARD command to send messages to other friends that have been forwarded to you. Do so only when you know that the person you are forwarding to wants to read the message.
Delete messages you no longer need. They take up valuable space.
Do remember to sign out on public computers.
