**Apologies for cross-posting** There are just two weeks left to book a place at the CILIP in Scotland Conference 2009, which will take place 1-3 June at Peebles Hotel Hydro in the Scottish Borders. The main conference will take place over Tues 2 and Wed 3 Jun, with pre-conference meetings and the launch of the Ask Scotland enquiry service taking place on Mon 1st Jun. This year we are pleased to host keynote speakers Jay Jordan, Chief Executive Officer of OCLC, and BT Futurologist Jonathan Mitchener. On Tuesday, two themed strands will run alongside the main programme, one focussing on school libraries and the other on career development. The school libraries element will cover major developments in the sector, including the Curriculum for Excellence and Glow. The career development programme aims to have cross sector appeal and will feature sessions on National Occupational Standards, delivering presentations, strategies for marketing yourself and impressing employers. The programme has been designed to allow maximum flexibility and delegates will be free to mix and match across strands to create a personalised itinerary and make the most of the conference’s diversity and range. On Wednesday, the conference will conclude with Branch and Group Day, where CILIPS special interest groups (SIGs) and local branches contribute to the event by selecting projects and initiatives to share with the wider sector. For further information or to book, please see: http://www.slainte.org.uk/cilips/cpd/conf09.html. All bookings should be received by Tues 26 May.
