With a vision of…

Bigdevelopments -
in the public sector…
1998: Our Information Age
“A co-ordinated strategy…
…widening access
…promoting competition
…fostering quality
…modernising government”
Tony Blair
1998-2001: a plethora of public networks...
DNER
Networking is for everyone now…
• Computers are cheap and everywhere.
• Everyone aspires to the same standards.
• We are all information workers.
• The LA/IIS split no longer makes sense.
2001: Investing in public services
“Public service reform… …based on investment……with minimum
standards……on a more flexible basis……British Library is a beacon
of excellence”Tony Blair
British Library speech16 Oct 2001
Keymessage #1 - Government is starting to
understand the importance of library and information professionals.
Bigdevelopments -
…in the private sector too…
Commerce and industry can’t survive without library and information services either - for…
• Competitor intelligence
• Market research
• Financial data
• Research and development
• Economic surveys
• Risk analysis
UKPLC
Have you seen this woman…?
• “Information has no value inherent in itself. It only gets value when people act on it.”
• “It intrigues me that the world has taken little pieces of library science and renamed them with sexy, macho names like ‘metadata’.”
• “It's a mistake to assume that empowerment of the user necessarily means disempowerment of librarians. The truth is that at no time have we been more necessary.”
Who is she?
• She’s Eugenie Prime.
• You probably know her as the corporate face of H-P Labs…

Keymessage #2 -
Commerce and industry are recognising that library and information skills make a sound business proposition.
Fact:There are more workplace library and
information services (in companies, associations, financial institutions, government, consultancies) than all the national, higher education and public libraries put together.
But:Many of these workplace library and
information services are small; their staff need the support that a unified professional body can provide.
Sheila Corrall CILIP’s first President
• “Having a new name is not enough; this has got to be a genuinely new organisation…”
• “We need to help our respective communities deal with the proliferation of online resources…”
• “Information literacy… is critical to contemporary social, educational and professional concerns…”
• “Information skills are also a fundamental requirement for business…”
• “The ‘electronic imperative’ is facing us all.”
