CILIP's Gazette launches new format, new look and new content
Fortnightly members' magazine gets radical makeover
CILIP's all-new Gazette launches today with its largest-ever issue and a new format, new design and new content. It provides the 22,000 members of The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals with a high-impact fortnightly magazine that focuses on jobs, personal development, products and services for the UK's LIS community.
Gazette's crisp, dynamic new look has been created by the award-winning design team at the Press Association's Editorial Centre. Using full colour throughout, they have created an attractive environment for readers and advertisers alike. In addition, Gazette's paper quality has been upgraded to maximise the impact of the design.
The magazine has adopted the new tabloid format that is fast becoming the standard among progressive business publishers. It takes full advantage of the latest print technology, which has just been installed at Gazette's production house.
In addition, Gazette's recruitment advertising section has been moved from the centre to a new position towards the back of the magazine, which allows a more logical editorial presentation. Full-colour is now available to recruitment advertisers.
Gazette will continue to provide news and analysis for all those in the LIS community seeking to find jobs and develop their skills, as well as those involved in purchasing products, services and systems. It will also continue to cover activities at CILIP and its branches and special interest groups, as well as providing an events Calendar.
Coverage is being enhanced by a number of new features including: expert monthly ITI Insights on the latest technology; detailed Specification Charts; a Comments section to highlight expert opinion and readers' views; expanded coverage of training and personal development issues; a new People section with Profiles, interviews and a My Week column.
CILIP's CEO Bob McKee welcomed the new Gazette and said, "The re-launch of Gazette illustrates the work that goes on continually within CILIP to improve the quality and value of the services we offer members. It effectively complements the comprehensive reporting of major issues, interviews and in-depth feature coverage provided by CILIP's monthly Update magazine".
