<strong>Annual</strong> Review <strong>2011</strong>/<strong>12</strong><br />

Highlights from the last twelve months<br />

and what to expect in the year ahead


1<br />

Welcome to our <strong>Annual</strong> Review<br />

and thank you<br />

Welcome to <strong>CILIP</strong>’s first <strong>Annual</strong> Review, which includes highlights from the last<br />

twelve months and what you can expect in the year ahead.<br />

First of all I would like to thank you for your continuing support. Without your<br />

membership and without many of you giving your time and energy to get<br />

involved, we couldn’t have achieved any of this.<br />

It’s been an incredibly busy twelve months. In 2010 a big consultation exercise<br />

with members and non-members about the future of the profession and <strong>CILIP</strong><br />

called Defining Our Professional Future led us to create a new organisation<br />

structure and new Vision and Mission to make sure we are focused on members’<br />

priorities. Since 2010 we have continued carrying out research and changing<br />

what we do and how we do it; to make sure that <strong>CILIP</strong> is the best professional<br />

body it can be.<br />

We know that professional recognition, skills development and Continuous<br />

Professional Development are at the heart of what we offer. That is why we have<br />

revised the Professional Knowledge and Skills Base; a map of the skills required<br />

to work in this sector and a valuable self-assessment tool. Over the next twelve<br />

months you will see this tool develop into a useful, interactive app.<br />

Over the last year we have increased our advocacy activities and grown our<br />

media profile on your behalf. We are improving our communications, refreshing<br />

our website, <strong>review</strong>ing how we can most effectively work with regional branches<br />

and special interest groups. We are working to introduce a Virtual Learning<br />

Environment, focusing on the policy priority areas that matter most to members,<br />

we have introduced online renewal and will soon introduce online joining.<br />

A lot has changed and there are many more innovations and improvements to<br />

come. I hope you enjoy our <strong>Annual</strong> Review.<br />

HIGHLIGHTS from the past year<br />

It’s been an incredibly busy year for <strong>CILIP</strong>. Sadly we<br />

can’t fit everything in, but here are some highlights<br />

from the last year…<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> took a lead role<br />

supporting National<br />

Libraries Day. Over<br />

400 events across the<br />

UK and overseas took<br />

place celebrating all<br />

types of libraries, staff,<br />

users and supporters.<br />

The new-look Libraries All Party Parliamentary Group was launched. It is a<br />

useful way for <strong>CILIP</strong> to engage with MPs and Lords about a variety of library and<br />

information issues and provides opportunities for discussions and debates. The<br />

group has over 65 members and growing.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> reaffirmed its commitment to Information Literacy.<br />

A new Information Literacy special interest group was created<br />

and <strong>CILIP</strong> supported the Alexandria Proclamation – which<br />

states that Information Literacy and lifelong learning are basic<br />

human rights.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> CEO<br />

Annie Mauger gave<br />

evidence to the Westminster<br />

government’s Culture, Media<br />

and Sport Inquiry into library<br />

closures. In his evidence<br />

Libraries Minister Ed Vaizey<br />

committed to meeting with<br />

Annie about the role of<br />

library staff.<br />

Community Services and<br />

Diversity groups merged<br />

to form the Community,<br />

Diversity and Equality<br />

special interest group.<br />

Colleges of Further and<br />

Higher Education and<br />

University, College and<br />

Research groups merged<br />

to form the Academic and<br />

Research Libraries Group.<br />

Social media expert Phil<br />

Bradley was elected<br />

President. He later agreed<br />

to serve for an extra year<br />

to see through a <strong>review</strong> of<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> governance.


For the first time ever the <strong>CILIP</strong> Carnegie & Kate Greenaway Children’s<br />

Book Awards went to the same book, A Monster Calls written by Patrick<br />

Ness and illustrated by Jim Kay. Over 90,000 children in over 4,400 reading<br />

groups shadowed the awards in library-based reading groups and posted<br />

over 14,500 <strong>review</strong>s.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> Cymru Wales and<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> in Scotland hosted<br />

two hugely successful<br />

conferences focusing on<br />

leadership, learning and<br />

digital participation.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> launched<br />

a new campaign<br />

encouraging<br />

everybody to Shout<br />

About School Libraries.<br />

The campaign will run<br />

well into 2013. Having<br />

already met with key decisionmakers<br />

including the Department<br />

for Education and Ofsted, we are<br />

working hard to advocate the<br />

positive impact a good school<br />

and school librarian can have<br />

on a child’s life chances. Visit<br />

www.schoollibraries.org for<br />

more information and to<br />

get involved.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> advocated for faster<br />

copyright reform and published<br />

guidelines for members about the<br />

implications of the Digital<br />

Economy Act.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> Mentor<br />

of the Year award<br />

was launched. The award<br />

celebrates the great work done by some of the<br />

amazing un-sung heroes of the library and<br />

information profession. It will toast those who<br />

give their time and knowledge to help others<br />

develop and grow.<br />

Over 100 new professionals, students and<br />

graduate trainees came to <strong>CILIP</strong>’s New<br />

Professionals Day to find out more about<br />

starting out and progressing in the library<br />

and information profession.<br />

Some things we couldn’t fit in: Music and song writing initiative<br />

from Skipton won the 21st <strong>CILIP</strong> Libraries Change Lives Award.<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> surveyed public library authorities, the results were widely<br />

quoted in the press and Parliament. Annie Mauger addressed<br />

the Westminster Education Forum about key role librarians<br />

play improving children’s life chances. Former President Biddy<br />

Fisher received an OBE. ACLIP was recognised by the Scottish<br />

Credit and Qualifications Framework. <strong>CILIP</strong> staff went ‘back to<br />

the floor’ and each spent a day shadowing a member at work.<br />

For the first time <strong>CILIP</strong>’s Big Day and AGM took place outside<br />

London – in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. <strong>CILIP</strong> Cymru Wales held<br />

a special Love Your Library event with the Women’s Institute<br />

at the Welsh Assembly. Hundreds of events took place across<br />

the country organised by <strong>CILIP</strong>, <strong>CILIP</strong> in Wales, <strong>CILIP</strong> in Ireland,<br />

<strong>CILIP</strong> in Scotland, regional branches and special interest groups.<br />

FINANCES<br />

The major organisational restructure in <strong>2011</strong> not only refocused <strong>CILIP</strong> on<br />

what members told us they wanted, it also streamlined activities and cut our<br />

cost base dramatically. In a tough economic climate, income was down on<br />

2010 by £780,000 but we made savings of £865,000 by closing loss-making<br />

enterprises, reducing staff costs and generally becoming a more efficient<br />

operation. This was demonstrated by our end of year operational results<br />

which showed a surplus of nearly £110,000 against a deficit of almost<br />

£500,000 in 2010.<br />

Total income for central operations<br />

in <strong>2011</strong> was £4,162,000, made up of:<br />

Total expenditure on central<br />

operations in <strong>2011</strong> was<br />

£4,693,000. The pie chart<br />

shows our continuing<br />

emphasis on strengthening<br />

advocacy for the professions<br />

and focusing on the provision<br />

One of <strong>CILIP</strong>’s<br />

key business plan<br />

objectives is to<br />

become a more<br />

sustainable<br />

organisation and<br />

we continue<br />

towards this in<br />

be the first full year<br />
