When I spent a short stint at the LA five years ago I was instructed
severely that when drafting a letter I should be sure to capitalise "The"
within a sentence when referring to the Library Association because "The"
was part of its name. I feel sure that they were hoping that some obscure
element of AACR2 justified this stricture...

Mm - I think Tony's right it' s about ownership. If we don't like our
professional organisations we should do something about it, not sit about
and hope someone else will do something. Having said that I hold my hand up
as one of the guilty - couldn't wait to leave the LA and only fork out the
cash for the IIS for the sake of those extra letters after my name and on my
CV. We need to ask ourselves what we want from a professional body (a decent
useful informative journal? a body that pushes to improve pay and
conditions? a nice spokesman on TV every week? someone to beat up all those
people who make tedious comments about brogues, tweeds, pearls and book
stamping??) and then tell our professional body that's what we would like it
to do. After all - it is there for us, not vice versa. And if the workers
want to call it cHilip then we'll call it cHilip and be damned, because it's
our organisation.

Call me paranoid if you will, but first Tony Blair (for whom I have voted
twice running) calls me a Wrecker because I don't place my trust in his
public-private partnerships, and now a gentleman in a suit from the LA tells
me that senior members of the LA & IIS have decided CILIP is pronounced with
a soft 'c', as in 'cyber', and this should be good enough for me.
I'm not suggesting we all vote on it - tho' it's a pity we missed the chance
to get a voting paper into the recent mass mailing at no extra cost - but I
think the LA should listen to us. After all, we pay his salary, he doesn't
pay ours!
PS I have a suit on myself at the moment, but I hope I also have flexibility
and a sense of humour.
