In October 2014, Clare McKenzie presented to 2 separate CILIP UK groups on the International Librarians Network. The theme of the presentation was exploring the unique nature of running a professional development activity - as a professional development activity. The presentation provided some background information about the ILN as well as lessons learned by the program coordinators.
