E-mail Accounts and Lists
The Library Systems Office (LSO) and the Library Human Resources Department (LHRD) have established procedures to ensure that all new employees of the Library receive a CalMail e-mail account as soon as possible. CalMail requires that users be in the HRMS system, have a CalNet ID, and be listed in the CalNet directory before an account can be established. This means that an e-mail account can't be set up before the employee's first day of work on site.
E-mail accounts for new employees:
LHRD will notify the LSO when CalMail e-mail accounts need to be created
for new employees. LSO will notify supervisors when new employees may set
up their own accounts via the CalMail website. All Library staff
who have a CalMail e-mail account are automatically included in the
library-wide alluser list.
E-mail account names:
All new e-mail account names will continue to follow the existing pattern,
that is they must be the first initial of the employee's first name
followed by up to 7 characters of the employee's last name. Employees can
set up an alias see calmail.berkeley.edu/account/aliases.
Closure of e-mail accounts:
LHRD will notify the LSO when a CalMail e-mail account needs to be deleted
for an individual who no longer works in the Library. Please see Guidelines for Closure of Library E-mail Accounts
for more information.
Departmental e-mail accounts:
To obtain a departmental CalMail e-mail account, fill out the Departmental E-mail
Application form (pdf).
Reading your e-mail:
You may read your e-mail via a desktop e-mail client, or via CalMail
Webmail. See the CalMail Options page for more
information.
E-mail lists:
Anyone with a CalMail e-mail account may create an e-mail list. E-mail
lists are created, managed and deleted via CalMail, and follow the syntax
listname@lists.berkeley.edu. See the E-mail
List Policy page for more information and instructions.
With your help, LSO maintains the Library E-mail Lists page. Contact webman to have a change made to the page.
CalNet Directory:
The campus maintains the CalNet Directory
of e-mail addresses, phone numbers, campus addresses for faculty, staff
and students on campus. To add or modify your listing in this directory,
go to CalNet Directory
Update. To receive e-mail messages from the campus, please see the instructions to change your
