“Mid-Atlantic” sounds appropriate for us. I know of other organizations that use “Mid-Atlantic” to describe similar groups in our region.

Subject: [DCExLIBRIS] What's in a name?

Hello Members,

We have heard from some of our members that our name, DC Ex Libris User Group, is too limiting and does not reflect who we truly represent as a region. There is interest in changing our name to something that is more suitable for the region.

A couple of suggestions we have heard is DMV and Mid-Atlantic.

Our regional group represents a number of member sites, including Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

This email has the goal of evaluating a proposed name change for the DC Ex Libris User Group. It is designed to allow members to express their opinions about the idea of a change and to provide suggestions for a new name.

Here are names of all the ELUNA Regional User Groups (RUGs) in the United States:

Bluegrass Users Group (eBUG) (formerly KVUG)
DC Ex Libris User Group (DCExLIBRIS)
Georgia (GIL) Users Group Meeting (GUGM)
Great Lakes User Group (GLUG)
Hawaii User Group (HUG) (formerly HVUG)
Northeast User Group (ENUG)
Northwest User Group (NWEG)
Southcentral Users Group (ELSUG)
Southeast User Group (ELUNA-SE)
Southwest User Group (eSWUG)
Upper Midwest Users Group (UMWUG)

Please feel free to express your ideas and suggestions for a name change.

Thank you in advance for your interest and providing fresh perspectives.

Best,

Denise Branch
