  • Lifelong Learning

    LLUK (Lifelong Learning UK), the sector skills council that covers CILIP's area of work, is putting together level 2 and 3 qualifications for libraries, archives and information services. I couldn't help being impressed by the knowledge of the delegates at this meeting (and the previous ones) and the thoroughness of LLUK and their consultants. Level 2 and 3 qualifications as NVQs and other...

With people's first week back at work rather disrupted, we've extended...

New versions of anything can take getting used to, but I think the immediate benefits are that the left hand navigation is very clear, allowing writers to de-clutter the body of the text of links. And I like the fact that we’ve got more landscape type...
