WORKING SMARTER: MAKING MORE OF AN IMPACT WITH LESS 

Career Development Group UK National Conference 2010 
Monday 17th May 2010, 10.00 am - 4.00 pm, CILIP, London  
 
Are you constantly being asked to do more with less? Do you feel under pressure because you have a smaller budget to work with and there are fewer of you to do everything?

Working Smarter will give you ideas and inspiration on how to achieve more with fewer resources. Suitable for library and information workers in any sector and at any level, the programme will feature a range of expert speakers from different LIS environments who will share their experiences and visions. With a mix of plenary sessions and workshop sessions, there will be time for discussion and questions, as well as opportunities to network with professionals from across the library and information sectors.

Career Development Group (CDG) is a special interest group of CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals (www.cilip.org.uk/cdg <http://www.cilip.org.uk/cdg>) Registered Charity No 313014
