I totally agree! As a LIS student who has yet to get her first qualified
post, I am still forming opinions on CILIP and how useful they are. The
jury is still out, so to speak, but their bitterness over this harmless list
(amongst other things) is really not endearing them to me at the moment.
I would like to think that someone on CILIP council actually reads this
list and will realise how useful it is to all of us--not so we can bitch
about CILIP, but so we can discuss general LIS issues. I have lurked on
this list for at least 6 months and so far, apart from this discussion, I
don't think anyone has actually really talked much about CILIP at all. The
impression I get is that it is just a forum for general LIS discussions in
the UK. Where is the harm in that? I would hope CILIP would reconsider
their position on this, as insisting we close a list that doesn't belong
to them is likely to do their reputation more damage than any thread on this
list could.
