CILIP members can still benefit from a specially negotiated 20% discount on the full conference registration fee to attend the Internet Librarian International conference at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London on 16 & 17 October. 

CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals is sole Association Sponsor of the conference, which is now in its eighth year. It is recognised as a key event in the information calendar, and this year's dual themes - discovering new resources and demystifying new technology - reflect the concerns of information professionals worldwide. 

New and improved topics for 2006 include:
* Library 2.0: Is it more than just a buzzword?
* Open Access, Open Source: How does this affect information storage and retrieval?
* Internet Research Intricacies: Is there life beyond Google?
* Outreach: How can we best serve geographically dispersed clientele?
* Teaching and Training: What techniques work best?
* New Technologies: Where do blogs, podcasts, screencasts and wikis fit?
* Search: What's new in the search engine space?
* Collaboration: How will social software affect information professionals?
* Digitisation: Can we really digitise everything?

Three keynotes, panel discussions, master classes, formal speeches, sponsor showcase and multiple networking opportunities combine to make Internet Librarian International a unique educational opportunity for all those who need to find new resources and understand new technology. 

"We are pleased to offer CILIP members the opportunity to attend this conference at a substantial discount", says John Woolley, Managing Director of CILIP Enterprises, "Librarians and Information Professionals across all sectors can enhance their knowledge and skills in this increasingly important area by attending events such as Internet Librarian International."
