"We are excited to propose that SLA change its name to the Association for Strategic Knowledge Professionals, or ASKPro."
It will be nice putting "strategic knowledge professionals" on my resume, especially for those places which scan for buzzwords. And I'll be glad to belong to an association of people not of libraries (Special Libraries Association sounds like it should be a confederation of institutions, not of individuals.). But I do think ASKPro sounds like a software package.
So very mixed feelings about the coming ballot to change the name.
