Has someone in CILIP been keeping an eye on the NHS initiative from its
NHS Leadership Centre called 'Getting on Against the Odds'(published Jul
2002)?
I just heard of it from a news item in the Nursing Times today- let me
know if you want me to send you a photocopy.

Thanks to Fiona for raising the issue of Spectrum and whether CILIP
should develop its own form of Spectrum for implementation in the UK.
Spectrum is a US scheme that provides 50 bursaries annually to people
from minority ethnic communites to enrol on professional LIS courses,
and then provides them with mentoring opportunities to advance their
careers. I am pleased to say that you can now respond to the
consultation from the CILIP website and download the accompanying
briefing paper. The web details are:
www.cilip.org.uk/spectrum
I do hope many of you will find time to respond.
Thank you

Subject: Comments on CILIP scheme?
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). CILIP acknowledges that a wide range of
partners will be needed across sectors.
This was discussed at the HLG committee meeting, and we decided it would
be useful to hear from the wider membership about :any experience of
current similar initiatives, views on how to implement this initiative
successfully,or comments on the project.
Please send any comments to this list and Guy Daines at CILIP
