Websites of professional associations and special interest groups
All professional associations have websites. These usually comprise pages which can be accessed by anyone plus further sections which are available only to members who use a password to access them. The main professional association in the library field is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/
You will find details of organisations which are in liaison with CILIP at http://www.cilip.org.uk/specialinterestgroups/organisationsinliaison/list.htm

| CILIP Multimedia Information and Technology Group | http://www.mmit.org.uk/mmit/online.html |
| The Historic Libraries Forum | http://www.historiclibrariesforum.org.uk/ |
| International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres | www.iaml-uk-irl.org/ |
