Many thanks to Ian for his work in supporting the list over the last few
years and for facilitating its migration to LIS-PROFESSION.

Subject: LIS-CILIP - CHANGE OF LIST NAME
As you all know from past correspondence on this list, the decision has
been taken by the CILIP Executive Board that they wish to use another
medium to communicate with their members.
The list was set up at CILIP's behest, followingthe successful operation
of a closed list for the organisers of the IFLA Conference in Glasgow
in2002. Many of the users of the list expressed a clear wish for it to
continue, but it cannot do so under its present name because it would
not be operating under the aegis of CILIP. In any case, it never had
more than about 1,000 members, and that clearly did not cover all
CILIP's membership.
This is happening at a time when, in any case, I wished to relinquish
ownership of the list (and had in fact been waiting for about a year to
do so, whilst CILIP considered how it wished to take things forward).
David McMenemy of Strathclyde University has indicated his willingness
to take it on.
The necessary arrangments to transfer the list's membership to a new
list with the name LIS-PROFESSION with David as list owner have been
made. That will come into operation from Monday.
No further messages should be sent to LIS-CILIP. From Monday 2nd
October, please address your thoughts and questions to

If you do not wish to continue in membership of the renamed list, you
will find instructions for terminating your membership either in those
sent to you when you signed on (if you had the sense to retain them) or
on the JISC web pages.
