Is a legal entity in good standing
Shares CILIP’s mission to “put library and information skills and professional values at the heart of an equal, democratic and prosperous society.”
Supports the values and ethics of the library, information and knowledge profession as set out in CILIP’s Ethical Framework.
Working with CILIP
Both levels of the Employer Partner Scheme are built upon our belief in the value of professionalism with Chartership as a badge of excellence underpinned by the sector skills standard, the PKSB. We are keen to work with Employers who share these
beliefs.
