“What can joining the Libraries for Nursing Committee do for you?”

 

 

Libraries for Nursing (LfN) is a partnership organisation of CILIP's Health Libraries Group. 

We work to support library and information staff in the nursing and allied health fields. 

 

Our objectives are:

• To provide a focal point for professional contact and discussion amongst qualified librarians/members of CILIP serving nurses
• To promote a dialogue between nurses and librarians and a greater understanding of the roles and functions of the two professions
• To bring together periodically persons involved in the provision of library and information services for nurses.

We currently have the following vacancies on the committee:

• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Membership secretary
• Ordinary committee members

(job descriptions are available and some posts can possibly be shared – we can discuss).

So why might you want to become involved? 

• Personal and professional development
• Undertaking chartership or revalidation
• Get involved in projects beyond the scope of your day to day work (e.g. help to organise a training event, or edit a bulletin) to add to your CV ?
• Widen your professional contacts
• A chance to speak up for your profession

We meet about 3 or 4 times a year, usually at CILIP in London.  LfN will pay travel expenses and a lunch allowance.  In between the meetings much of the work is undertaken via email correspondence 

 

If you would like to find out more about becoming involved with the LfN committee, please email or give me a call.
