CILIP can help you see the world!
CILIP's international job exchange scheme, LIBEX, enables CILIP members to exchange jobs with library and information staff around the world.
Register
Please complete the application form.
A UK based jobholder must provide their CILIP membership number.
Non-UK based jobholders do not need to be CILIP members and can only exchange with the UK.
CILIP's overseas members are eligible and should provide their membership number.
We will contact you by email once your application has been approved.
Access the LIBEX database
You can access the LIBEX database once your application has been approved.
Please make sure that your database entry is completed as this will ensure that others searching LIBEX will have full information about the exchange you are offering.
LIBEX does not arrange exchanges itself, this is done directly by the applicants. Experience has shown that this approach generally works to best advantage for most participants. CILIP's role is to host the LIBEX database, support, develop and promote the scheme for the benefit of CILIP members, and to provide opportunities for them to work overseas.
CILIP members will naturally receive full support from their professional body, when contacting LIBEX and quoting their membership number. Please address all enquiries about existing and future applications to LIBEX at CILIP (libex@cilip.org.uk ).
We cannot enter into communication with non-members of CILIP who are registered or planning to register for the scheme.
