I understand that those responsible hope that Aslib can be sold as a going concern and will continue operating in some form, though not necessarily having much relation to its current incarnation. Tony McSean -----Original Message----- From: Chartered Library and Information Professionals To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 12/14/2004 2:53 PM Subject: Future of Aslib I saw this news item in today's "Daily news" bulletin from CILIP: >INFORMATION PROFESSIONS >Liquidators called in at Aslib >Aslib has entered into an arrangement with liquidators following losses >in advertising revenue since the 11 September attacks in 2001. >Information World Review, 7 December >http://www.iwr.co.uk/IWR/1159931 I wonder whether CILIP would consider this an opportunity to discuss with Aslib the possible merger of the two organisations. There is almost complete overlap in subject interests, and it would seem better to have one strong organisation representing both individual and corporate members of the profession. Besides, a joint organisation might then end up with a library again!
