IN DEPTH
Meet the CILIP 125
As part of last year’s celebration marking 125 years of CILIP’s Royal Charter, 125 information professionals were recognised for the impact they are having on the profession. In the second in a series of articles, we speak to some of those representing the CILIP 125.
WHEN CILIP launched its five-year strategy and action plan, its name was chosen to convey the inclusive nature of CILIP as a membership organisation. We Are CILIP was about reinforcing the con- nections and unity within all the sectors of the Information Professions - and last year’s CILIP 125 recipients mirror that broad scope of what it means to be an Information Professional. In the second in our series focusing on some of the CILIP 125 we meet five more early years professionals who are making a difference in their sectors. We find out what motivated them to join the profession, what keeps them moti- vated and how CILIP is an integral part of that journey. You can find the full list of CILIP 125 recipients at
