Subject: CILIP ILIG Informal in Edinburgh - 31 October 2016
 

CILIP International Library and Information Group (ILIG) extends an open invitation to join us at our next Informal event in Edinburgh:

Dzien dobry Glasgow! Dzien dobry Wroclaw! by Sylwia Grabowska

Date: October 31st - 7-8.15pm

Venue: Room 1130, National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh.

Details: Next year's IFLA conference comes back to Europe, to the city of Wrocław in Poland. To give something of a flavour of Poland, ILIG is bringing its Informal Talks to Edinburgh where Polish Librarian Sylwia Grabowska will give an overview of Polish Libraries and her work in Scotland and overseas.

Sylwia moved to Glasgow in 2013 to study for an MSc in Information and Library Studies at the University of Strathclyde. Prior to coming to Glasgow, she studied MA of Polish Philology with specialisation of Scientific Information and Bibliology and worked as a librarian in a regional pedagogical library and a high school library in the Polish city of Elblag, near Gdansk. She is also a qualified teacher. She is currently working as College Librarian in the Scottish School of Christian Mission in Glasgow, leading project development of the library, including cooperation with libraries in Malawi and Pakistan.

Sylwia will give an overview of the history of Polish libraries and development of the Polish librarianship; she will discuss the current legal situation, modern issues and talk over major Polish libraries, with focus on the National Library of Poland; and share her experience of work in various libraries across countries.

The event also relates to the following areas of CILIP's Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB):

2.7 Knowledge sharing and collaboration
9.3 Advocacy 9.5 Partnership Development
11.4 Service innovation, development, and design
12.5 Communication skills 12.6 Networking skills

They are open to all and absolutely free. Light refreshments are served which is why we ask you to let ILIG know you are coming by booking online here: http://bit.ly/2cjj0oc
