Rudai 23. Thing 13: Professional Organisations


As I mentioned in my last post I am a member of CILIP, I only signed up this year and have found it extremely beneficial so far.  I have attended many talks and training days through them in which I have learned a lot.  I don't know many people who work in the information industry so meeting people at CILIP events and discussing ideas has been particularly fun and beneficial.  I also receive regular email updates and a magazine to keep me informed on library 'going ons'.

I am currently working towards my CILIP Certification, my first step into taking my career in libraries seriously.  It's been great so far as I can work in my own time at my own pace, there are plenty of CILIP CPD events to attend and also a large amount of support from my mentor and other members on the VLE.
