Many thanks to all those who took part in the CILIP in London Survey.
CILIP in London, the London branch of CILIP, undertook the survey to
find out how popular its services were and to find out what areas needed
developing. CILIP in London takes the views of its members very seriously.
302 of the 4,000 members took part in the survey, which showed that the
branch newsletter, the London CLIP, is well read, and over a quarter of
members who responded had attended at least one event. Current
professional awareness, networking and career development were seen as
the three most important roles of the branch. Some people were unclear
about the identity and current activities of the group (many people did
not realise there were CILIP in London web pages, for instance,) and
there is a lot of potential to improve marketing.
The prize draw of £50 Amazon vouchers was won by Martin Carr of the
Royal Society, Sue Willetts of the Joint Library of the Roman and
Hellenic Societies, Senate House, and Anna Al-Shabib.
The full results make interesting reading (especially pages 2-4, which
contain a neat summary of the findings.) Library and Information workers
are renowned for their strong opinions, and it is exciting to be able to
read so many comments from all sorts of members across London. The
survey results can be found from a link on the CILIP in London section
of the CILIP website: see page
