“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

Chair, DC Ex Libris User Group
