Membership
The Health Libraries Group (HLG) is a Special Interest Group of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP).
You can join the Health Libraries Group as a member of CILIP and as a Subscribing Member.
If you are a member of CILIP you can join HLG free of charge as one of your two free Special Interest Groups. To join more than two Special Interest Groups there is a small charge.
We want to create an active and diverse membership. However, we are aware that we are not reaching all of those who could benefit from membership, especially para-professional library and information staff and/or those not in a traditional library and information role. Therefore we offer Subscribing membership to people who are not members of CILIP.
Subscribing Membership costs £30 per annum - this includes VAT. The benefits include a discounted journal subscription, a discount on courses and other continuing professional development (CPD) events, attendance at HLG conferences at members discounted rate. Subscribing Members are not eligible to stand as Officers (Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) of the Group.
