from Frank Daniels <[log in to unmask]>

Dear All,

Resource missed an opportunity here. I'm surprised that Chris Batt and his 
colleagues did not come up with LAMB (Libraries, Archives and Museums 
Board). If you say it out loud it reminds you of a creature that has no way 
of standing up for itself, and with no weapons with which to defend itself 
from the "predators" of this big bad world.

Nothing wrong with being a jurassic fossil: they at least still have teeth!

>London, 5 February 2004 -- The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries
>announced today that it is dropping the name "Resource" from its title.  
>The
>organisation, which provides leadership across the sector and strategic
>advice to government, said it would be known in future as the Museums,
>Libraries and Archives Council, abbreviated to MLA.
>
>When it was established in 2000, the organisation was given the title
>"Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries".
>
>Mark Wood, MLA Chair, said: "The name Resource has always been a source of
>some puzzlement and confusion.  The Board felt unanimously that we needed a
>name which is concise and spells out clearly what the organisation does.
>
>"The name change had been achieved at a cost of £12,500, including design
>and printing work.  There has been no expensive rebranding exercise.  Chief
>Executive Chris Batt and I proposed the name and the Board enthusiastically
>agreed."
>
>The renaming was subsequently endorsed by Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State
>for Culture, Media and Sport, which is the MLA sponsoring department.
>
>The change will come into effect from 9 February.
