UKeiG membership data and status

As some of you may know, CILIP has implemented a new membership database. CARE has replaced ADLIB and CILIP membership data has now been transferred to the new system. Unfortunately there are still some teething troubles, which are being addressed, but this means that some of the information we receive from CILIP about UKeiG members is not always correct. For example, some UKeiG members have been listed as renewed in one report, lapsed in the next, then new or resigned! All discrepancies are reported to CILIP and they are working on resolving these problems.

As UKeiG maintains its own membership database, we can quickly identify inconsistencies in the data from CILIP. We have contacted many of those affected by the gremlins in order to confirm their membership status. If you have renewed your UKeiG membership through CILIP but are no longer receiving mailings from us, or your UKeiG user name and password no longer work, please contact Christine Baker (cabaker@ukeig.org.uk). She will be able to tell you your current UKeiG membership status as relayed to us by CILIP.

You can check your CILIP membership record via the CILIP web site (http://www.cilip.org.uk/) by logging in to 'My Profile'.
