Update magazine goes monthly with extra digital editions

From 1 March 2010 six editions a year will be in printed in hard-copy and six in digital format. Update Digital is available to members through the CILIP website.  

Members can enjoy enhanced features through Update Digital, including a choice of three reading views, a slideshow of the magazine, increased coverage through web links to additional content, and access to the magazine 24/7 anywhere in the world.

Not only can members keep up to date with the latest library and information developments online, they can also search an archive of editions published since January 2008. The archive comprises more than 1,400 news items and in-depth articles.

Since the CILIP website’s re-launch, access to Update Digital has been simplified, and members who have registered for automatic log-in can go straight to Update Digital and its archive. Members can register on the CILIP website for automatic log-in at www.cilip.org.uk/register.

Further developments to Update Digital are being researched, including embedded audio and video content. Meanwhile, CILIP plans to publish more than 900 pages of essential information for members in 2010 in hard copy and online via Update and Gazette magazines and their associated supplements and special issues.

More information about Update and Update Digital is available at www.cilip.org.uk/update.
