I am presently a member of CILIP which is the only professional group I am
currently involved in. This is mainly down to doing Certification and now
onto Chartership. Being a member keeps me up to date with career
development opportunities and courses although most of them seem to be in England which
is no use to me. There are face to face networking opportunities within
CILIP but again mostly in England. I am however keen to get involved
when the right opportunities arise.
I signed up
to a couple of CILIP special interest groups to help with my career development
but haven't fully explored them probably because I thought signing up to their
mailing list would get me involved.
I have
recently found out that being a member of CILIP automatically makes
me eligible for membership of IFLA which I have now had the
chance to look at. I looked at some of the groups which seem interesting
but noticed some of the pages were last updated as far back as May 2009 so I
will have to investigate it further.
I would have
to say CPD 23 is the best opportunity I have had for networking out with my own
organisation. There are some groups I mentioned in Thing 6 which I will
be exploring further.
