Another alternative for those wishing to leave the list or to change their settings before going on holiday (and thus save Lesha & myself a bit of work ;-)) is to use the list's webpage at

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/LIS-CILIP-REG.html

You can also search through the archives here.

This list grew out of staff room discussions Lesha and I had (or maybe I should say moans?!?) as we were both working in an institution that had no Route A programme, with many senior colleagues who were no longer LA members (as was) and who couldn't understand why we wanted to charter.

We both felt we'd like not only a bit of support, but also something to push us to charter, (plus we had the added benefit of including issues arising from list ownership in our PDRs!) So don't be put off, this list has over 950 members now, the vast majority of whom are interested in the chartering process and want to charter themsleves. Chartering is going to be more important than ever, with CILIP's New Framework of Qualifiactions & Revalidation around the corner. If I had got around to it sooner I'd be able to supervise other candidates or apply for fellowship if I wanted to by now, as it is I'll have to wait another couple of years.
