UKSG Training Programme awarded CILIP Seal of Recognition
UKSG is delighted to announce that its training programme has been
awarded the CILIP Seal of Recognition.
UKSG offers a wide range of educational events focusing on the
challenges and issues related to working within the information
community and managing e-resources. Courses are offered for participants
at various stages of their careers and include exchange-of-ideas
seminars and an extensive and affordable programme of courses and
workshops.
Heather Taylor, Adviser, Qualifications and Professional Development
Department at CILIP commented "UKSG demonstrated that their
well-established CPD programme is continually being updated and
developed in response to the ever-changing needs of the attendees and
the information marketplace. The UKSG were especially commended for
providing good introductory and updating sessions on e-resources for
both information professionals and other interested professionals."
The CILIP Seal of Recognition scheme was developed to acknowledge the
important contribution made by providers of Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) for the library and information community. The Seal of
Recognition recognises high standards in the content and relevance of a
wide range of training and development activities, and is awarded to CPD
providers that directly address an element of CILIP's Body of
Professional Knowledge (BPK). Applications are reviewed by independent
assessors from the CILIP Accreditation Board.
Tony Kidd, Chair of UKSG said of the award "We are delighted that our
training programme has been recognised by CILIP in this way. Our
education committee and our trainers work extremely hard to make sure
our courses are current, relevant and affordable for all participants.
The feedback we receive from attendees is always extremely favourable
and we are proud that several organisations within the information
community consider our courses to be mandatory training for their
staff."
