Hi Kathy, Don't know if you've seen the discussion which followed your posting of this message - maybe you've replied to Sarah offlist? I don't know about anyone else, but I would be interested to read your response to the concerns she raises, too!

The Diversity Council aims to unite library and information workers and to tackle social exclusion - particularly in the areas of race, culture and creed. In order to make an application to become a Group the Diversity Council has to obtain the signatures of 10% of current Library Association members (approx 250). If you would like to support this important initiative please complete the attached form (you will need to print it off as we have to have a signature) and send it to: Victoria Anibueze Administrative Officer The Library Association 7 Ridgmount Street London WC1E 7AE [snipped]
