I was bothered about this too, but if you read the proposal at http://www.cilip.org.uk/membership/subscriptionsreform/ you'll see that it says "Of course, we will need to make special provision for members on low incomes. So, below a certain income level, members will be able to opt out of the flat rate by declaring their income and claiming a lower rate reflecting their circumstances. That way, people who are just starting out on their career, or part-time workers on pro-rata salaries, won't lose out." Which sounds very reasonable to me. -- Hilary Phillips Cataloguer, Runciman Collection St Andrews University Library This e-mail is intended for the named recipient(s) only.
