New Horizons

Since 2012 CLIC has been broadening its horizons in the types of events it provides, how it markets itself and how it defines its membership

“Do Something Different Day” 2012 & 2013

• 23 different sites took part• Job swaps on offer

included;– IT support– Graphics services– Careers advisors– Collections management– Dental library– Health library

• Good mix of respondents from the various sectors & differing job roles

• Most respondents want to see CLIC provide an equal mix of networking opportunities & training

• Predominantly happy with range & quality of events currently provided by CLIC

• The greatest interest is in events which allow learning about & visiting CLIC member libraries

• Inability to arrange cover/scheduling clashes/prior work commitments appear to be the greatest barriers to attendance rather than lack of interest in training on offer

Survey results – brief summary

What do you value most about CLIC events?

Opportunity to network

Opportunity to developprofessional skills

Opportunity to hearabout work in othersectors of the profession

The Future

The challenge: re-think the future

• Budgets are under pressure

• Services need to be consolidated

• Services and models need to be re-imagined for today’s users

• Collections are increasingly going digital

Challenges

From co-working to crowdsourcing, collaboration in its many forms and degrees continues to shape and, in some senses, even redefine the way we work

“Maker movement”

Libraries and the “maker movement”

Working together

• The future of libraries and library “values” in the digital world will increasingly depend on us working together at the international, regional, national and local levels.

The future plan

The Steering Group is currently in the process of putting together a funding bid to commission a report that will explore the direction CLIC should take over the next 5 years
