I too think
this would be a good idea.
Kind regards

Subject: Splitting the list to
separate out ILL requests?
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?
