I realise this is not really 'on topic' for this list but I wondered if it
was of general interest and whether there were any similar initiatives you
know of or your thoughts on such initiatives (which should be addressed to
Guy Daines)?

Subject: Scheme for library staff from black/ethnic minority communities
On behalf of HLG committee:
CILIP has an objective in this year's Corporate Plan 'to examine the
feasibility of a bursary scheme for library staff from black and minority
ethnic backgrounds, to enable them to study for professional or
paraprofessional qualifications, and to include mentoring and leadership
training' (similar to the ALA's 'Spectrum' initiative- see
http://www.ala.org/spectrum). This was discussed at the HLG committee
meeting, and we decided it would be useful to hear any experience of current
similar initiatives, views on how to implement this initiative successfully,
or comments on the project, from the wider membership. CILIP acknowledges
that a wide range of partners will be needed across sectors.
Replies are sought by Guy Daines at CILIP ([log in to unmask]), though
of course can also be posted to this list for discussion. Guy can also
supply more information.
