Tackling social exclusion is fundamental to the government's current
strategy for improving the quality of life in the UK. For public libraries,
this is included as one of the key areas of assessment in the Annual Library
Plans. Higher and Further education have an increasingly diverse range of
non-traditional students.
It is essential for new professionals in all sectors to be aware of social
exclusion and how our library services can be improved for the benefit of
all the people in our society.
Chartership candidates need to be aware of current professional issues.
There is an opportunity for us to learn about social exclusion at an event
in Swansea on Thursday 13th June.
The afternoon session by John Vincent (who is a regular provider of CILIP
study days) on social exclusion will be a real opportunity for us to
understand the concept of social exclusion - and how the library sector can
be involved in tackling social exclusion.
In order to attract a large number of new professionals, the event is FREE.
In addition,
The role of the library assistant will be addressed in the morning. There
will be an opportunity to hear Tracy Long, President of the Career
Development Group, speak.
Essentially it is two events on the same day, maximising the use of your
time, making it easier for you to seize this wonderful opportunity.
Brief details of the event are below. Please contact Neil Smyth

library support staff you may want to attend.
