About Us

What is CIG?

  • CIG is the Cataloguing and Indexing Group of CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
  • If your work involves the organisation, storage, retrieval or dissemination of bibliographic information, then CIG is the professional group which most appropriately reflects your interests.
  • Through membership of CIG you can contribute to the promotion and maintenance of bibliographic standards and keep in touch with modern developments.

What does CIG do?

  • CIG is actively engaged in the development and maintenance of metadata standards, including RDA, seeking to work in partnership with the organisations and groups responsible for their advancement.
  • CIG unites all those with an interest in bibliographic control, including not only librarians but also colleagues from the book trade.
  • CIG holds a biennial residential conference and other meetings and workshops throughout the year.
  • CIG publishes a quarterly journal, Catalogue & Index, and other specialist publications. Catalogue & Index is an open access journal.
  • CIG advises CILIP on matters concerning bibliographic control.
  • Mission Statement

    The Cataloguing and Indexing Group believes that the storage, organisation and retrieval of information in any form and by any means is a central and fundamental concern of librarianship and information science. This provides a means of exploiting that information (whether printed or electronic) for the maximum benefit of all users.
