All:

 

I think DMV runs the risk of people thinking it stands for Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.  I also double checked on the Northeast User Group, which includes nearby states such as Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. According to their web site, ���In 2010 EMA (Ex Libris Mid Atlantic) and NEUG (New England User���s Group) merged to form ENUG.���  I think, reestablishing the Mid Atlantic name, perhaps with a different acronym-MAUG? Or EMAUG? or EMUG?- is a good option and also allows flexibility if any libraries in our neighboring states want to participate. J

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:

 

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
