Will these communities of interest include RSS feeds? If so then from my
point of view I will receive info from them just as speedily as an alert
from my - mail box. How ever the other 1017 members of this list may not
like this method so there will be no discussion taking place for me to
listen too!

Some idle thoughts about the debate.
Currently CILIP claims 22,000 members
[log in to unmask] as of today has 1018 subscribers
Yes I want the list to continue but we are, as a profession, showing
very
little interest in the list.
I agree that going to a website & then to a 'community of interest'
(don't
we find some quaint phrases to express ourselves) is not going to reach
me
on a regular basis. The question of how we can get wider participation
in
professional issues is clearly something CILIP is trying to address
even
if they seem to be heading up the wrong path. Obviously the 1018 people
on
the list (or most of) are concerned with professional issues but that
leaves nearly 21,000 who either aren't or who address them in other
ways &
I fear that it is few of them who use other ways. Looking at it as us
(the
list people) and them (CILIP) is not necessarily the best way to
progress
things.
