- About the Author
Thoroughly updated to reflect the new requirements of the revamped suite of Professional Registration qualifications from CILIP (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals), this is the essential guide to producing a successful portfolio. Reflecting on achievements and presenting evidence of enhanced knowledge and skills underpin many professional and educational qualifications. Building a portfolio is key to recording and demonstrating this professional development, and gaining official recognition in the form of Professional Registration qualifications. Set out in a user-friendly format, and covering each element of a portfolio, the guide is jam-packed with examples, useful hints and tips, personal contributions from successful applicants, web links, and further reading to help you develop a top-notch portfolio. The role of the VLE, new submission routes including e-submission, and the new route to Revalidation are all clearly explained.
