Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started. Judy, thank you for positing this interesting info. I am especially interested in the goals and guidelines of the new Institute of Museum and LIbrary Services. Since it grows out of the public library program, does that mean the Library Services will be oriented toward public libraries primarily?
