Update always seems to steer clear of anything that might be considered controversial , which has the effect of stifling debate at a time when librarians are being encouraged to develop their advocacy skills.  I can't believe that CILIP is left in ignorance of some of the things that are happening to libraries and information servicesin the UK, but 'Private Eye' frequently offers a more wide-ranging insight into things that affect LIS here.

Subject: CILIP's Update magazine - **your** feedback?

I just sent this e-mail round to CILIP's Update magazine online readers' panel.

I'd be very happy to hear feedback from members of the LIS-profession e-list too.

If you'd prefer to send feedback off-list, I'm at [log in to unmask]

Many thanks,

Matthew Mezey
(News Editor, Library and Information Update magazine)

Hello Update readers' panel members,

It's great to be in touch again (rather too late for New Year greetings...). 

We'd really appreciate any comments you may have time to make on the various topics detailed below. And there's also an opportunity for people to join the Update/ Gazette Editorial panel.

** HOT TOPICS FOR TALKING HEADS/VOX POP? ** We're thinking of a starting a 'Talking Heads', vox pop-style column - hearing views from a range of voices on the pressing topics of the day.

What are the topics that you and your LIS colleagues are talking about (and perhaps disagreeing on too)? Where's the buzz?

** ANY FEEDBACK ON UPDATE'S CONTENT AND LAYOUT? ** What were the news stories or features that you particularly liked or disliked over the past months?

New things we have added recently include
 'Review of 2007 and what's next for LIS?' (in Dec and Jan/Feb issues)
- Matthew Mezey's 'LIS Blogwatch' column (p. 8 in Jan/Feb issue)
- Annabel Colley's 'Company Club' column (p. 6 in March issue)
- Michele Jones' 'National Year of Reading update' (p. 14 in March issue)
- 'LIS Talk' column (p. 7 in March issue).

How do you rate these new additions?

What else would you like to see in the magazine? (Or removed from the magazine?).

Any layout comments? What looks good, and what needs improving?

** SECTORAL COVERAGE? **
What overall LIS sectors does Update seem to be hitting or missing? And are there any particular topics we cover too much, or too little?

** INTERESTED IN JOINING THE UPDATE/GAZETTE EDITORIAL BOARD? **

Here's the request for new editorial board members, from page 6 of the new (March) issue of Update:

CIILIP Council has agreed the Update/Gazette Editorial Board will continue to operate as a panel in 2008, reporting to the Office of the President. Its purpose is to 'communicate the views of members to the editor to ensure members of CILIP receive a relevant and high-quality publication which is in touch with issues of concern and relevance to the profession'. We are looking for new members to help us in this. You need to be a paid-up CILIP member and able to attend two face-to-face meetings with the editorial teams a year. These normally take place in London, starting in mid-morning and running until mid-afternoon, with lunch provided. Panel members need to read each issue of the two publications widely - i.e. not restricting themselves to items on their own sector or specialism. At and between meetings we are looking for people who are willing and able to
 comment constructively on the content of articles, the balance of articles across and between issues, and layout and presentation
* respond to editors' requests for opinions on proposed articles, i.e. whether the topic is appropriate, timely etc, and for suggestions for articles and/or contributors and authors
* remain aware of developments in their own sector and/or professional specialisms and interests in order to contribute to discussions about potential and published content. One thing they don't have to do is write anything themselves!
Age and level of experience, at either end of the spectrum, are not a barrier. We are particularly interested in finding people who work in government, health, FE, LIS teaching, and LIS suppliers, and Affiliate members, although all volunteers will be considered.
If you are interested, please contact Panel Secretary Rachel Middleton (020 7255 0585; [log in to unmask]) in the first instance. Current Panel Chair Andrew Coburn (01245 244957; [log in to unmask]) would also be glad to discuss its work with prospective panel members.

** NEWS OR FEATURES SUGGESTIONS? **
We're always on the look-out for news and feature topics.

Do please send any news to [log in to unmask] and feature ideas to [log in to unmask]

Many thanks for your help - and keep in touch!
