The closing date for applications is Monday, April 22nd, 2024.
This is a great opportunity to lead the work of a busy sub-group of the CILIP IL Group committee; this will include a significant role in implementing the Information Literacy Group’s strategy, with a particular focus on ensuring successful delivery of our comms and engagement activity across a number of different online platforms and at in-person events.
Your application should include the following:
