However as a point of fact the list is monitored closely by the CE and other staff. They respond rarely because most threads don't actually bear diectly on their responsibilities, and prefer (quite rightly in my view) that "Cilip" responses come fom elrected members rather than officials. I've posted several times.in this way, usually after fact-checking with the admirable Tim Buckley Owen, whom I miss greatly Tony McSean -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld -----Original Message----- From: Chartered Library and Information Professionals To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Mon Jul 10 17:56:19 2006 Subject: Re: Closure of this List Chris Armstrong said "CILIP. does not. actively monitor and participate in LIS-CILIP." I don't think that's entirely accurate. My understanding is that CILIP staff currently DO actively monitor LIS-CILIP, and participate when appropriate, as they do with other communities (LIS-LINK, Free Pint, sector-specific lists etc). But at a time when they are adjusting to staff cuts it's a case of finding old things to stop doing, to enable them to do the new things.
