Dear MCG,
I'm not sure whether HTML formatting will survive the list, and apologies for the flagrant promotion, but I thought you might be interested to see the first issue of our new fortnightly email bulletin.
Please note our forthcoming Q&A with Ed Vaizey. We've had to rearrange the date a few times, so apologies for the extended teaser campaign, but do please keep your questions coming vie email/twitter.
To receive the newsletter, just go to http://www.collectionslink.org.uk and click 'signup'.
Many thanks!
Nick

The Collections Management Suppliers Database<http://inovalive.co.uk/eBulletin/2257/suppliersdb.jpg>
New Collections Management Suppliers Database
The Collections Trust launches the first ever Collections Management Suppliers Database <http://inovalive.co.uk/iLink.cfm?emailID=351&Link=39408> on Collections Link. It is a new service for businesses wanting to promote their products and services to the collections management community both in the UK and internationally, and is a fully searchable business index on the premier collections management website. Unlike other suppliers lists it enables a company to profile up to 3 products and services, with in-depth information including the product name, description, pricing model, case studies and client references.
By getting listed on the Suppliers Database a business also becomes a Collections Trust Partner <http://inovalive.co.uk/iLink.cfm?emailID=351&Link=39467> . This gives exclusive access to the Collections Trust Partner Branding Pack, plus fantastic discounts, saving £1000s on advertising, exhibition stands, delegate fees, publications and Collections Trust products.
