I am one of the very long time lurkers, and I would like to see WEB4LIB
stick around. It's got minimal traffic, so it's easy to ignore posts that I
don't have an interest in, but as Louise noted, it is a good place for
questions.
I, for one, have a couple of questions to ask, but only once I get my
grading done. The life of an instruction librarian wearing many hats is
tough this time of year.
All the best,
Amanda

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">Hi,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">In light of current discussion on this list, \
and following up on my post of last August [1], it is perhaps time for us to consider \
that discussion about web technologies specifically for libraries has come to a \
natural end - at least in this forum. Not, of course, because the web has gone away, \
but because it suffuses nearly all library technology. It is far from being the \
"new thing" as it was back when this mailing list was \
established.<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">There has been little discussion of \
library-specific web technology on this list since August, barring some job posting \
and CFPs. I also do not see signs of any particular effort to launch active \
discussions on such topics.<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">To put that last point another way: if you as \
list members want more discussion at the intersection of web tech and libraries, it \
is ultimately your responsibility to initiate it.<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">In any event, without the requests for \
technical assistance that one member has been making the past few months, total list \
traffic would have been very low and would largely consist of job and CFP postings \
that typically get widely broadcast.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">Consequently, I submit the following \
proposal: that Web4Lib be closed at the end of May while arranging for its archives \
to be maintained indefinitely. If such a proposal spurs interest by members to post \
on the intersection of the web and libraries, great, but otherwise the list's \
time may have passed.<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div>
