Drawing on her own international experiences, Judy will explore contemporary perspectives on the information profession globally, including definitions of professionalism and professional identity. The implications of these and the role of professional associations such as CILIP will also be examined.

Judy Broady-Preston is CILIP’s President for 2020 and Emeritus Professor Aberystwyth University; Editor-in-Chief, Global Knowledge Memory and Communication; Visiting Professorial Fellow, UCL Qatar.

ILIG Informals are not lectures; they are informal, early evening social gatherings followed by a short talk on a theme of international interest plus plenty of time for questions. They are open to all and absolutely free. Please book to receive a link to join the informal.
