Who we are and what we do
ILIG is exactly what it says it is - the International Library and Information Group. Our interest is worldwide!
Who we are
CILIP members based all over the world - from Antigua to Zimbabwe and here in the United Kingdom - belong to ILIG. But, wherever our members are based they are interested in the international aspects of the LIS profession, from ILFA to local libraries around the world.
What we do
ILIG arranges meetings and seminars with international themes or applications; through our International Award we acknowledge the achievements of those whose work overseas has helped their community; we manage, for CILIP, the Anthony Thompson award which enables an overseas LIS professional to come to the United Kingdom on a study tour and we publish our journal, Focus on International Library and Information Work, which carries articles and reports about library and information activities all over the world. We also have an email discussion group - ILIGlist - and a presence on Facebook.
ILIG's Chairman is a member of CILIP's International Board.
