Friday 26 November 2004
For immediate release (Please copy to online discussion lists)
CILIP on stand 168: keeping you informed, employable - and better off
£12 off your year's subscription if you become a CILIP member at Online Information 2004
Visitors to stand 168 at Online Information 2004 will be able to take advantage of our £12 Prompt Payment discount if they sign up to become a personal member of CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
Benefits that CILIP membership will offer them include daily email alerts about the latest issues in the information society and knowledge economy, free online access to Library & Information Science Abstracts, and a new Employment Law Helpline provided to CILIP members by the Work Foundation.
Existing CILIP members won't lose out either, because the £12 Prompt Payment Discount is open to almost all personal members who pay in full before 1 March 2005 or renew by Direct Debit instalments before 14 February 2005. (Exceptions are Supporting, Expatriate, Overseas and new Life members.)
If you're wondering what CILIP membership is all about, and what's in it for you, come and find out how our Information Service can help you with your personal queries, how our e-bulletins and regular magazines can give you early warning of developments that might affect your job, how our national network of branches and our 26 special interest groups can help you keep in touch, and how you can gain internationally recognised library and information qualifications with us.
You'll have the opportunity to meet past, present and future Presidents of CILIP, and discover at first hand the breadth of support that membership of a professional Institute can offer. And you can talk to our INFOmatch recruitment consultants, who can help you plan your next career move.
Throughout the show, CILIP staff will also be on hand to explain about the 90 learning opportunities available from CILIP Training & Development throughout 2005, and about important new books from Facet Publishing. Due early next year is the timely Content Management Handbook by Online Conference Chairman Martin White, which you can pre-order at a special show price. Discounts available from CILIP Enterprises for the duration of the show include 30% off all Facet Publishing titles, and 10% off selected CILIP workshops.
