The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals

CILIP is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, a new professional body formed following the unification of the Institute of Information Scientists (IIS) and The Library Association (LA). The new Chartered Institute will not simply be an amalgam of the two predecessor bodies, although it will seek to build on the undoubted strengths and successes of both organisations. Our aim is to make the sum greater than the parts - to create a genuinely new professional body fit for purpose in the twenty-first century as our profession addresses the challenges and opportunities of the Information Age. We shall build on our past - in particular on the mission, purpose, values and ethics of our professional heritage - while investing in our future.
