CHILL, the Consortium of Independent Health Information Libraries in London, is looking to recruit more members, and to offer its benefits to all libraries that could be interested.
I am therefore writing to enquire whether your library might be interested in joining CHILL.
Some more info about CHILL and its activities is below.
====================================
CHILL's goal is to provide independent health libraries with opportunities to improve their services through mutual co-operation and by sharing expertise. "Health" is interpreted as including both human health and animal health.
CHILL provides a voice for health libraries that are outside of the NHS and Higher Education sectors. Formed in 1998, CHILL is also an excellent professional support network for those working in this independent health library sector.
Principal benefits for members include:
" Saving money on serials and book purchasing
" Our regular meetings (3 p.a.) and e-mail discussion list, which provide professional networking and updates on topical issues
" Professional support from a like-minded peer group
" Professional development and training opportunities
" A collective voice for the independent health libraries sector
CHILL welcomes all independent health libraries in the London area. The membership subscription of £30 p.a. gives access to all CHILL activities.
Independent health libraries outside London may join as affiliate members. A reduced membership fee of £15 p.a. allows affiliates to benefit directly from all activities apart from attending CHILL meetings.
CHILL's website provides information on all existing members, and acts as a portal to the independent health library sector. Information on recent activities is also on the website.
