IN DEPTH
Supporting you and your profession through the CILIP community
There has never been a more important time to be part of the information profession – whether helping tackle social and health inequality on the high street and connecting communities, or pro- viding access to the information, data and insight that is powering the fourth industrial revolution. As the profession evolves to meet new and existing challenges, CILIP is here to support your career – find out what’s on offer with your membership.
THE information profession is grow- ing, with new roles emerging alongside traditional jobs. A shift in how we work is also taking place as information and knowledge managers are increasingly embedded in teams, a core element in delivering projects and improving organisational outcomes.
But as roles change, we need to be able to develop our own skills to meet these new needs and ways of working.
Your career, your way
CILIP offers great value support and assis- tance throughout your career (see image on p. 28), with a range of tools and events to provide career-long development. Whether you intend to build a career in just one sec- tor or want to see how far your skills might take you across many sectors, our networks, training and professional recognition have all been developed by your professional peers to give you the right tools at the right time to keep your career on-track and head- ing in the right direction.
Not only have we been doing this with and for librarians, information and knowl- edge professionals for more than 120 years, we are the only organisation in the world operating under Royal Charter (http://www.
cilip.org.uk/RoyalCharter) to support, develop and accredit information professionals in all sectors.
