[SLLS] Rescue campaign for the International Bibliography of Sign Language

[Wolfe, Rosalee]

If it's a matter of having server technology available, I think we can handle that here at DePaul.

If that's something would be useful, I can discuss it with The Powers That Be.

I think one way forward would be for this to become a subscription-based
service, with universities paying for access (just as they do for many
other bibliographic services). It would be good to know if there is
support for this idea at Hamburg and elsewhere.

I make no apology but I vehemently disagree with that proposal. It would put a source of material beyond the reach of interpreters undertaking continual professional development and for trainees following certification with training organisation unaffiliated with universities.  Better for the bibliography service to closed completely than it become an academic elitist  tool.

In other words I don't support the idea.
