ASLIB RISES FROM THE ASHES
17 February 2005, London - Aslib, The Association for Information
Management, has been resurrected by its former Chief Executive, Roger
Bowes. Bowes has purchased the assets and intellectual property of
ASLIB which are owned under a new company, Global Information Management
Services.
The organisation will continue to be called ASLIB and Bowes holds the
post of Managing Director. Bowes commented, "My intention was always
to ensure that ASLIB and its unique contribution to information
management is sustained and flourishes and that its staff including
myself can continue in employment."
Cathy Mostyn, Business Development Director at Emerald, stated, "Aslib
has the full support of Emerald Group Publishing Limited and as owners
and publishers of the Aslib journals, we expect our relationship with
them to be a long and happy one. Aslib bulk purchases these journals to
service their members. This means that once membership fees are paid,
the supply of Aslib/Emerald journals is guaranteed."
Members will continue to benefit from subscriptions to two of the six
Emerald/Aslib journals of their choice and also benefit from a 20%
discount on any additional Emerald/Aslib journal(s). Members also
benefit from an extensive range of electronic services which support
