As the list owner for the lis-elib-managers list I recently received an
email from JISCMail reminding me that the list was no longer being used
and asking if I wanted the list to be deleted.
I feel that the list may contain posting which could provide interesting
insights into the issues which were felt to be important in the early
days of digital library development work. I therefore do not want the
list to be deleted. But in addition I would like this closed list to be
made open. I have discussed opening this list with Chris Rusbridge and
Lorcan Dempsey who feel that this would a useful. I have also posted a
message on the list and written a blog post about opening the list.
If anyone on this lis-elib list was previously a member of the
lis-elib-managers list I would like to hear from them, in particular to
find out if people who have posted on the list have any objections to
the list being made open.
My blog post which provide the background to this is available at:
