ON BECOMING AN NBS MEMBER
Doug Andrews of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is a new
member of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society. He also
serves on the American Numismatic Association's Information
Technology Committee. He writes: "Wayne, I want to share
with you and with non-members the reasons why I recently
decided to join the NBS.There are many fine numismatic organizations today. What
separates the NBS from the rest, in my opinion - and why I
joined - comes down to its innovative use of technology.
Every week for the past year I have been receiving The
E-Sylum. Think about it: Every seven days I receive a
comprehensive, well-written publication that provides useful,
timely, and accurate reporting on an important aspect of
numismatics that I enjoy. And it's FREE!The NBS is surely going "the extra mile," sending me valuable
and interesting information and never asking me for anything
in return. The E-Sylum goes to roughly 540 recipients every
week, plus those who receive it from those now on your
mailing list. That means you can probably double or triple the
actual number of readers.From the NBS's perspective, this is a very sensible and cost-
effective means of communication and "outreach." Whether
The E-Sylum goes to 5 or 5,000 readers, the cost is nearly
constant. At the same time, the value to the organization in
demonstrating the benefits of joining to potential members
is fantastic!I digress. What better introduction to an organization, and the
merits of joining it, could there be? I am somewhat familiar
with The Asylum and the NBS website. These are two more
excellent reasons to be an NBS member.The E-Sylum reminds me every week what a great organization
publishes it. I urge every other E-Sylum reader to join, and to
tell their friends that the Numismatic Bibliomania Society is
open, accessible, and WANTS them as members!"[Instructions for joining are found at the end of each issue of
The E-Sylum. I'll repeat them here: For more information
please see our web site at http://www.coinbooks.org/ There
is a membership application available on the web site. To
join, print the application and return it with your check to the
address printed on the application.Thanks, Doug, and welcome to the NBS! -Editor]
