Hello everyone, Welcome to the Academic and Research Libraries Group (ARLG). We are a well established SIG within CILIP and we have a great geographical representation across the UK. The current committee is newly established in 2017 taking over at a key point in CILIP's development as they roll out the Your Membership (YM) platform. The national ARLG committee are keen to raise our profile professionally and to engage with our membership across HE, FE and in research. We are trying to provide clear and timely communication for members that comes with a transparency that will encourage members to engage with us at either national or regional level and across the sectors we represent as a SIG. If you have any suggestions for events or for CPD that would be of benefit to members don't hesitate to get in touch with us. You can also reach the national officers directly at: chairarlg@cilip.org.uk secretaryarlg@cilip.org.uk treasurerarlg@cilip.org.uk. Check our postings on our group page to link to our group documentation on our shared Google Drive. Jackie (ARLG Secretary - National Committee)
