<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Welcome to the SIReN mailing list. Hopefully you have now received notification of the establishment of this mailing list for SIReN members (and remember why you expressed an interest in the first place!) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A brief description of the list is available at </FONT><A HREF="http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/siren"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/siren</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">, along with facilities for customising your membership of the list eg. receiving digests etc.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">SIReN membership now stands at 20 members from 9 academic departments and 2 support services. In order to facilitate interaction between group members and explore how the Network may provide a supportive infrastructure for taking forward institutional research at Stirling it may be helpful for the group to meet face to face occasionally.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The next meeting will take place in December 2007. Please could members reply directly to me (Ginny Saich) with their availability for the following dates so that I can arrange a date/time to suit as many of us as possible? </FONT></P>
