CILIP Employers Forum: Future ready library and information services
CILIP Employers Forum Forum 2024: Developing your AI policy
CILIP’s popular one-day Employers Forum is hosted this year at The Hive in Worcester just five minutes' walk away from Worcester Foregate Station. It is generously sponsored by CB Resourcing and WF Education.
The day provides an excellent opportunity for senior staff to share knowledge, network and learn alongside their peers. And we are also offering an optional pre-workshop library tour of The Hive and post-event drinks in a local pub too. This page is for those for those attending in-person. To attend online, please head to the online event page.
Developing your AI policy
With hype around Chat GPT and large-language models subsiding, information professionals and librarians are asking the question “now that we better understand the risks and capabilities, how do we harness the potential of AI safely and successfully for our users?”
The answer - according to the BBC and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at least – is that we need to use this brief hiatus in disruptive announcements to develop and share effective policies for the use of AI.
Objectives In this Forum, delegates will - Hear the survey results from their peers about how advanced they are in developing their artificial intelligence policies.
- Hear from speakers in the industry on how they developed their artificial intelligence policies. These include Dr Graham McElearney, Senior Learning Technologist at The University of Sheffield and Sandra Taylor, Assistant Director for IT & Digital at Worcestershire County Council.
- Participate in a workshop to develop your own policy on artificial intelligence.
- Put your questions to a panel of LIS course leaders who will discuss the future skills of the sector.
- Get a chance to build contacts with peers across the sector.
Optional extras As has become customary, we are pleased to
offer an optional library tour before the workshop and post-event networking over drinks.
You can book your place on the library tour and networking drinks on the Attendee Selections. There will also be an opportunity for delegates
to benchmark their service beforehand and we’ll be sharing the results of this on the day.Pricing structure

About The Hive The golden Hive building is a partnership between the University of Worcester and Worcestershire County Council and houses their integrated public and university library - Europe’s first. Worcestershire’s Archives and Archaeology Service is also housed there. The Hive was was opened in 2012.
Sustainability is at the heart of the building’s design with its climate managed using natural light and ventilation. Its large windows open and close automatically depending on temperature, rain and CO2 levels. Pipework embedded in the ceilings heats and cools The Hive. There is also a biomass generator and its toilets are flushed with rainwater. The whole building can be recycled at the end of its life. More information at https://www.thehiveworcester.org/
