Library and information professionals are facing questions about their value to their employers and the communities they serve. The Campaigning Toolkit is a resource designed by CILIP to help you create an effective action plan to demonstrate your value as a library and information professional. Your campaign can be big or small - about the impact of the recession in your service; about a single staffed library or a corporate information service; about a large university library or public library authority - it's your campaign.
