#CILIPConf18 keynote: Helen Dodd on GDPR.
Head of data governance for Cancer research UK. 50mill supporters!! So lots of data, lots of PERSONAL data. Moved into an opt-in model.
Data and personal info is a currency. Means it's possible to build profiles of supporters and reach them.
But privacy has moved from a dirty word to a real right. Charities including CRUK got fined for their practices.
Organisations are not always tightly structured - CRUK is fluid and fast moving. But GDPR has been a plus, providing a foundation for more innovative positive work.
Although GDPR is new, the skills needed to plan a good response and strategy are not new, and certainly covered by info pros.
Cancer Research UK have resourced this really well because it's really important. But also a cultural change to sort accountability, what to do if stuff goes wrong, what data they use and now they use it.
Created a best practice plan. But still evolving - a year to do this isn't very long even with resources and good buy-in. Currently still implementing.
Want privacy to sit at the heart of any innovations. Made sure all the bits of the strategy had high up sponsors.

#CILIPConf18: learning and information literacy - chaired by Rosie Jones, director of Library Services, Open University. With Sarah Lacey, consultant and trainer, Ruth Carlyle, Health Education England, & Jacqueline Geekie, Aberdeenshire libraries.
SP: there have been huge tsunamis of change in school education - changes to curriculum on literacy, numeracy, IT, KS3 English. Move away from independent learning.
SP: libraries were not mentioned in previous curriculum. Now there are 2 proper mentions, but they relate to English depts at KS3 reading for pleasure, not anywhere else.

As a "policy wonk", conferences and reports are meat and drink. But most reports are never seen again.
Follett report - 1990 - HE institution libs unable to cope with growing numbers. Over 100 new building projects were funded. Special funding for technology and cross-institutional projects.

#CILIPConf18 professional registration cafe. Not just for librarians! All info pros. Showing you have a reliable skill set, a shortcut to having to justify it to future employers.
But also get more awareness of where you sit in the profession, share best practice, learn from others areas and people, become a better reflective professional.
What you did. What went well, what didn't, what you would do differently next time. Reflection is a key part of improving.

Last panel of the day (feeling it a bit now). #CILIPConf18: voice and vision: the importance of diversity in children's and YA literature.
Nadia Shireen - creator of picture books. Held a competition asking children to write a story where the main character shared their name. Wanted to encourage "diversity"
Diversity does not just mean "not white", it's class and gender and sexuality and disability and regionalism and education level.
