Subject: More on the name change
Hi All
Apologies if this seems to be unduly negative.
1) NORWHSLA is not an acceptable name for the new group it implies a
takeover of MCHLG by the NORWHSLA group. If we are to work together
as a region we go into it together in a new form with a new name that
does not have any association with the past.
2) The nature of the name is relatively immaterial as outside of the
library community it will remain relatively obscure and the health
professional wouldn't care if we were called Fifi Trixibell as long as
the service they received was a quality service. To tie ourselves in
knots over a name is a waste of energy which should be focussed on
establishing the new group, defining the way it should operate and
putting it into place.
Having said this on reflection Health should be part of the name and I
apologise that it wasn't included. LINN would not have been my choice
personally at heart I'm a REBIL or quite fancied some REvILS but lets
just add the H make it LIHNN and get on with something far more
important.
