ILIG is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Hosts Directory and to make it work, we need more Hosts from across the globe (and the UK)!

So what is it?

The Hosts directory is exactly that - a list of CILIP members and international colleagues who are willing to host, for a day or two, a fellow library and information worker who is visiting their city or region. Hosts are located across the world - please see the Map of hosts at www.tinyurl.com/CILIPHostsMaps .

All you need is a spare bed or room and the desire to meet colleagues from other countries, to share experiences and to contribute, in a small way, to building bridges to international understanding and co-operation within the library and information profession. Guidance for potential Hosts is also available online at www.tinyurl.com/CILIPHostsGuide

If you are interested in helping us to expand the directory, please register online at www.tinyurl.com/CILIPHostsRegistration . This is not a commitment to Host and personal details will not be divulged without prior consent.

For the visitor - the guest - it is a chance to get to know, at first hand, something of the life of a fellow professional in a foreign country as well as the opportunity to stay with a colleague for free or at limited cost. If you would like to use the Hosts Directory as a guest, please first check the Map of hosts at www.tinyurl.com/CILIPHostsMaps to see there are Hosts in the area you are visiting and email the Hosts Directory Administrator at [log in to unmask] with details of who you are, where you want to and how long they want to stay.

So what's stopping you? Sign up today! Please also feel free to pass this information onto colleagues who might be interested.

Kind Regards

Doug Knock
