I, too, agree that if the website offered
back issues of My preference would be for html versions,
but downloadable pdf’s would be acceptable as well. I have looked through the indexes on a
number of occasions, but I haven’t ordered because the listings and order
form are not user friendly (and sadly it appears I am lazy). Scott Hills From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Deb Schneider I have three organizations I used to belong to that I no longer
join. Biggest reason is that I have to hassle with printing out a
membership form and sending a check! The one organization I am still a
member of allows me to renew online using a credit card/debit card or
Paypal. I'd guess that 75% or more of any organizations members ONLY PAY DUES
and do not do anything much else. So discounting those folks as
meaningless, is rather silly as that is a big chunk of money to keep the
organization running. Those of us "lurking" members, are happy
to support the group if it's made simple to do so. I also think that many organizations do not do a good job with
websites. I am much more likely to be involved with an organization that
has a high quality/high content well-functioning website. I would even
prefer it to a paper newsletter. One of my former organizations decided
to make their quarterly publication a glossy, full color deal. I skim it
and toss it. I'd rather get it online and have it available on their
(bare bones NOT glossy) website where I could access it when I want it without
having to find a place to store it. Now the NAFEX Pomona is a lot of fun to get, but it would be tons more
useful if it was accessible online to members with a searchable index.
You give me all the back issues of deb |
