I'm glad you like my CHilip - but sad to say, I see the powers-that-be have decreed it shall be pronounced with the c as in cyber. I suppose if enough of us called it CHilip, then we might "win".
Also, although the new logo is in lower case, we have to write it in upper case so that it stands out !

I really like Christine Reid's suggestion of pronouncing it Chilip - and it
also deals with Carol Mortimer's point. Shall we go for it?

Subject: Re: CILIP
In my mind I've been pronouncing it Chilip as the C is from CHartered.
I remember some years ago there was a suggestion to rename the Library
Association "Institute of Chartered Librarians", but there were objections
from the Fellows - because they would have been FICL and they didn't like
the sound of that.
When I was at Loughborough, a lot of the old CATs were being renamed as they
turned into universities and they had to be careful not to call that
particular one the Loughborough University of Science & Technology.
I love initials !!

Is there anyone else out there embarrassed by the new name cilip
(pronounced silip)? We have had enough problems with our image already!
