There are 27 special interest groups across CILIP UK and, of these, five are active as distinct Scottish divisions. The group network allows grassroots involvement in the work of the professional body, as well as encouraging members to pursue professional specialisms.

More information about the UK wide network of special interest groups can be found on the CILIP website, which also outlines the processes for joining and changing groups. The websites of the Scottish groups are shown on the right.
