CILIP NW Bursaries 2019



To kick start the new year we thought we’d let you know about the opportunities you will have to apply for a bursary from your CILIP North West member network this coming year. 

 As usual, CILIP NW will be offering a bursary which covers the full cost of the CILIP Conference in Manchester in July. Any member of CILIP NW can apply. 

 Also, for the first time this year, there will be two bursaries available for CILIP’s New Professionals Day in October. This is the annual conference aimed at library and information professionals who are in the early part of their careers. It includes a variety of workshops and presentations and a wealth of opportunities to network, find support and share information. One free place will be available to all Library and Information Management students at MMU who are CILIP members, and the other place will be available to any member of CILIP NW.

 The infographic below, created by Zoe Collyer the CILIP NW Awards Officer, outlines the many benefits these bursaries provide. 





In the months running up to these events simply follow the link on the infographic to find details about how you can apply. 

We look forward to hearing from you!

My experience of the CILIP Conference 2025 by Sarah Kaye

On Wednesday 2 nd July, I travelled from Cheshire to Birmingham for a day at the CILIP Conference 2025. After registering and being given a map and a timetable, I entered the exhibition room which was pulsing with excitement. People were hugging each other and shaking hands, waving from across the room and running to say hello with huge smiles on their faces. This was obviously an opportunity for colleagues and friends to come together and celebrate librarianship as well as for librarians like me to network and build new connections. After pouring myself a cup of coffee, I spoke to the people on the Better World Books stand and the BorrowBox stand. These were both brands I recognised due to Cheshire ELS working with them. Although I knew about what those companies did, it was lovely for me to ask questions, learn more about different project they were undertaking and some of the history of the companies. I walked away feeling more confident and uplifted. The opening comments by Lo...

“A Grand Day Out”

  CILIP North West “A Grand Day Out” What Happened? Just before Covid hit in 2020, I began the process of working towards my Chartership. Lockdown gave me lots of opportunity to do all sort of online training and reading. But I struggled with reflective writing; I just couldn’t get my head around how to do it. So, I kept going with development activities and sort of hoped that if I ignored it, reflective writing would just go away. Needless to say, it didn’t.

So when I saw there was a session on reflective writing at a forthcoming CILIP CPD day, I knew I had to attend and slay the demon! So What? To be honest, I hadn’t paid much attention to the programme for the day beyond the reflective writing session. So it all came as a bit of a surprise, and a very inspiring one. We started with a session about ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence, led by Tim Leonard, of B...
