INFORMATION TODAY AND CILIP ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR INTERNET LIBRARIAN 
INTERNATIONAL 

In a joint statement released today the Chartered Institute of Library and 
Information Professionals (CILIP) and Information Today have announced that 
CILIP will once again sponsor the Internet Librarian International 
conference, which will take place in London on 16-17 October 2006.

Now in its 8th year, Internet Librarian International is a key annual 
European conference for information professionals using the latest 
strategies, products and technology for finding, organising and managing 
web-based information resources.

Once again CILIP will enjoy Association Sponsor status, and CILIP has 
already negotiated key benefits for its members. These include a 20% 
discount on the full conference fee.  

However, this year’s partnership is a more formal one, says Tom Hogan Snr, 
Information Today’s CEO, and it delivers increased support from CILIP.

   “We welcome this renewed relationship. CILIP’s influence in the UK’s 
information arena is significant and this year’s commitment will benefit 
both CILIP members and, importantly, our conference delegates.  CILIP will 
use its leverage to assist with our global awareness campaigns, and will 
play a key role in shaping the conference programme for 2006.  

  “Our priority continues to be to provide a cost-effective intellectual 
forum for information professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and 
careers. We hope that offering significant discounts to the 23,000-strong 
CILIP community will underpin this statement.

  “We are pleased to be working more closely with Information Today on this 
annual conference, which is becoming ever more relevant to the LIS 
community as web-related products and services grow in importance and 
complexity”, says John Woolley, Managing Director of CILIP Enterprises. “As 
librarians across all sectors seek to enhance their knowledge and skills, 
events such as Internet Librarian International will become increasingly 
relevant to their future”.
 
Internet Librarian International delivers strategies and tips to attendees 
through keynote speakers, workshops, and a sponsor showcase of global 
information services and products. Internet Librarian International’s 2006 
themes and call for speakers will be released in the early New Year. The 
event’s web site will carry further details and breaking news at
