CILIP CAMPAIGNING TOOLKIT
 

Library and information professionals are facing questions about their value to their employers and the communities they serve.

As a personal membership organisation CILIP supports its members in terms of qualifications, careers, professional practice, information, advice and continuing professional development. 

The Campaigning Toolkit is a resource designed by CILIP to help you create an effective grassroots action plan to demonstrate your value as a library and information professional.


The Campaigning Toolkit will help you develop a strategy to ensure that the contribution you make as a library and information professional is understood by your organisation, your community and society. It will help you focus on what you need to do and how you can get it done.

Your campaign can be big or small - about a single staffed library or a corporate information service; about your pay and status or a job evaluation scheme; about a large university library or public library authority - it's your campaign.

Quote Bob McKee CILIP CEO - Everyone needs the confidence and ability to speak up for their skills and the contribution they make. This toolkit will help CILIP Members campaign effectively for the value they add to their organisation and their community.
