Hang on ... a good part of the reason for a change of name was to include
those of us (those formerly in IIS and perhaps others) for whom the title
'Librarian' is incorrect.
I am all in favour of the title Librarian being used where it is
appropriate, and rather cross when the rest of us non-librarian information
professionals in CILIP are forgotten.
