CILIP and Information Today announce new partnership for Internet Librarian International
In a joint statement released today CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals and Information Today have announced that CILIP will once again sponsor the Internet Librarian International conference, which will take place in London on 16-17 October 2006.
Now in its 8th year, Internet Librarian International is a key annual European conference for information professionals using the latest strategies, products and technology for finding, organising and managing web-based information resources.
Once again CILIP will enjoy Association Sponsor status, and CILIP has already negotiated key benefits for its members. These include a 20% discount on the full conference fee.
However, this year's partnership is a more formal one, says Tom Hogan Snr, Information Today's CEO, and it delivers increased support from CILIP.
"We welcome this renewed relationship. CILIP's influence in the UK's information arena is significant and this year's commitment will benefit both CILIP members and, importantly, our conference delegates. CILIP will use its leverage to assist with our global awareness campaigns, and will play a key role in shaping the conference programme for 2006.
"Our priority continues to be to provide a cost-effective intellectual forum for information professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and careers. We hope that offering significant discounts to the 23,000-strong CILIP community will underpin this statement.
"We are pleased to be working more closely with Information Today on this annual conference, which is becoming ever more relevant to the LIS community as web-related products and services grow in importance and complexity", says John Woolley, Managing Director of CILIP Enterprises. "As librarians across all sectors seek to enhance their knowledge and skills, events such as Internet Librarian International will become increasingly relevant to their future".
Internet Librarian International delivers strategies and tips to attendees through keynote speakers, workshops, and a sponsor showcase of global information services and products. Internet Librarian International's 2006 themes and call for speakers will be released in the early New Year. The event's web site will carry further details and breaking news at www.internet-librarian.com
