Additionally, the Youth & School Libraries Joint Committee wish to do some work on information literacy skills underpinning the new National Curriculum. This was also a theme of CILIP's recent discussions with the Training & Development Agency. There remains a need to focus this resource and this work into a more explicit policy statement on the role of library and information professionals, to go alongside the existing definition of Information Literacy. As suggested, this is likely to be a consideration for the Policy Forum, which will shortly be considering policy priorities for next year.

Have just come into post of Information Literacy Librarian at Aberdeenshire, so will be checking regularly for news of what's happening in public libraries. Hi John and Christine,
