It may be the time to split the list up to distinguish between ILL messages and all of the other messages. I have been taking soundings from other colleagues both in and out of UHMLG. Lis-medical is the open list for UHMLG although this fact might be new to some listers. My observation is from the p.o.v. of being the list owner for the UHMLG lists and also being an ordinary member of this list too. My suggestion would be to set up a list called lis-medical-ill (or should that be lis-medic-ill!) for the ILL posters. In this way, lis-medical wouldn't be so off-putting for those people who don't want to see ILL postings. In between the ILL requests (which are incredibly important, so I'm not knocking them at all) there are nuggets of gold which sometimes get lost. Lis-medical is quiet these days because of the other ways in which people communicate and also because most of the hectic activity seems to be on any list talking about Search 2.0! However, it still has a bright future, as long as we don't clog it up. What do people think?
