Folks, Having been out of the loop for several weeks, I come back to find that ASLIB have folded. See http://www.iwr.co.uk/IWR/1159931 Although I wasn't a member, it is sad to see what is effectively a charitable organisation go to the wall. Does anyone have any comments on what the possible implications are for the industry ? Rob.
