I have not been a member of CILIP for very long and am curious.
Does CILIP carry out an annual survey of its members ? For example subscribers perceptions of the organisation, whether
subscribers feel they are getting value for money for their membership fees ?

This would be of interest to many of us in rural areas. The cost is very high - my husband is in the Royal Society of Chemistry
and pays £89 and the BNES (nuclear) charge £30, again for similar services.

Or virtual events/courses like the Open University? (For those of us in the back of beyond) Sarah

Good idea - move it. How about a virtual CILIP and events held at different venues around the country?

Easy. CILIP lives in London where it has to pay huge building and wage overheads. Contrary to the beliefs of some, London isn't at
the centre of the country, it's in the bottom right hand corner. Most members have to pay huge train fares (sometimes more than
their membership fees!) to attend CILIP events. It's been suggested before, but moving to a more central and less expensive part
of the country would help. Alyson Hogarth.

Following on from Sonja's comment about the cost of being a member of the German library association, as a member of the Dutch
library association I pay 60 pounds p.a. (=89 euros), that includes a professional journal and membership of three special
interest groups. The services offered here in the Netherlands are no different to those in the UK. I cannot understand how CILIP
justifies a membership fee of sterling 150 (138 reduced!!).

No, I am sure many of us agree with you. Could I just add to the discussion that the equivalent membership in a German library
association costs roughly about 47 Pounds per year (70 Euros), with the maximum fee of 61 Pounds (90
Euros). And I can honestly say that the services provided in return don't
differ enough to justify that amount of money.
