Aslib is moving forward and a letter is going out to our valued members and
customers. Following the previous coverage in this forum of developments at
Aslib, I am pleased to post a copy of this letter for those who are
interested in what is happening.
Text of letter:
Dear Colleague
I am pleased to tell you about the latest developments at Aslib and the
high quality services that we will continue to provide to you. I have been
able to purchase the assets and intellectual property of Aslib. My
intention was always to ensure that Aslib and its unique contribution to
information management is sustained and flourishes and that its staff,
including myself, can continue in employment.
We have the full support of Emerald Group Publishing for the supply of our
journals and the other extensive services they offer our members. Our
trainers are looking forward to taking part in the 2005 programme. All our
services including APR and Managing Information, which have
always been very much appreciated and used by the professional community,
will continue and we trust can now be expanded. Aslib will be a lean
organisation, it will also enjoy greater flexibility to react to market
requirements and opportunities.
In purchasing Aslib I have set up Global Information Management Services
Limited as the vehicle, but we will continue to trade as Aslib. We are
looking forward to providing you with the service you would expect from the
best corporate information management association in the world.
Yours sincerely
Roger Bowes
Managing Director
