Career Development Group Conference 2012
Together we are stronger
#cdg2012
Wednesday 18th July 2012
Although the library and information sector continues to
experience budget cuts, redundancies and de-professionalisation, we continue to
recognise the wealth of innovative thinking and action, experience, knowledge
and expertise within the profession.
For 2012 the Career Development Group Conference – Together we are stronger -
aims to bring together innovative information professionals, whether they are
new to the profession or have been in the profession for a number of years.
This conference is organised as a forum for all information professionals by the Career Development Group, a special
interest group of CILIP: The Chartered
Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
This is a call for papers
to new professionals (those in the profession for 5 years or less) and
established, experienced professionals to participate.
The main theme of the conference is ‘learning from each other and working
together to develop a stronger and more effective information profession’
and we invite submissions for presentations of 20 minutes and workshops of 45
minutes covering aspects of this theme, such as:
There will be various prizes awarded to
speakers, as voted for by delegates on the day. A selection of papers
will be published in Impact, the
group’s online journal.
