For those of you who haven't heard already, I am leaving Kew towards the end of January to pursue my real ambition of becoming a writer. I will still be around on a part time freelance basis at Kew for a couple of months working on a specific internal project. After that I will be most easily reachable on my private email address sallychinchcliffe@yahoo.co.uk. I'll be handing of responsibility on GUIDs for IPNI to Nicky - n.nicolson@kew.org so if you have any questions about those please address them to her. If you have a problem with the IPNI GUID service then report it direct to apps-support@kew.org Any general questions about IPNI should go to ipnifeedback@ipni.org in the first instance.

Kew are recruiting my replacement now - if you're interested in a challenging (but largely management) job bringing Kew's IT into the Web 2.0 and integrated services world - then go to http://home/aboutus/jobs/ref113.htm
