Honorary Membership Awards from CILIP Scotland

CILIP Scotland Honorary Membership 2019:  Jenny Foreman, Head Librarian, Scottish Government Library and Information Service and Cleo Jones, Lifelong Learning Strategic Officer, City of Edinburgh Council, have been awarded Honorary Memberships for CILIP Scotland 2019 for their joint efforts in raising the awareness and importance of Information Literacy and the role it plays in every day society.   We all deal with vast amounts of information everyday as we go about our daily routines, sometimes being totally unaware we are doing so.  Through Jenny and Cleo and its members, the Information Literacy Community of Practice for Scotland, which Jenny and Cleo co-chair, aims to bring together those interested in Information Literacy - how we source information, why we must consider its importance and value, while taking care to evaluate and use what we source responsibly, all of which highlights the importance of teaching and promoting information literacy skills in education and lifelong learning.

Please do join the IL CoP if you're interested and come along to our biannual meetings.
