The Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals Scotland (CILIPS) are delighted to be working in partnership to present their members with a series of webinars on the topic Facts for the Library Frontline.
Public services like libraries are often on the frontline when it comes to tackling the challenges presented by a lack of media and information literacy in communities, and recent research has shown that libraries are well placed to support their use communities but that staff are in need of additional training and support.
