CILIP Thames Valley & SE Branch AGM
How do you get recognition for the work you and your library/information service provide? How can you demonstrate value to your users and your employers?
Join us at the joint CILIP South East/CILIP in the Thames Valley AGM, and discover how you can promote yourself and your service, and the benefits of doing so in an era of change and possible cuts.
Librarians are often mystified by the term advocacy: what does it mean? How do you do it? We are offering an afternoon with a library advocacy specialist, Linda Constable, author of CILIP's Advocacy Campaigning Toolkit, who will provide an overview of the concept of advocacy, an introduction to the toolkit, and - importantly - a workshop to help you begin to identify actions you can take to demonstrate to your wider organisation or community the role you and your services play in helping them achieve their goals and aspirations.
All CILIP members are welcome, and the event is free to attend although booking is essential so we know numbers for catering. Non-members are also welcome, at a charge of £15.
The event will begin at 1pm with a sandwich lunch (provided), followed by the AGMs; the workshop will run from 2-4. The Town Hall is approximately a 10 minute walk from Reading train station. Directions and a map are available online http://tinyurl.com/
To book a place, please contact Chrissy Allott chrissy.allott@berkshire.nhs.uk or 0118 9605015 to confirm if you will be joining us for lunch at 1 or just for the workshop.
