CoLRiC is run for members by members.
The CoLRiC Management Committee is responsible for advocating for the delivery of a diverse and high-quality library and learning resources portfolio across the Further Education and Sixth Form College sector, representing information professionals from across the UK.
CoLRiC Management Committee members come from any background, from senior staff to early career professionals. We’re keen to recruit volunteers with an interest in a diverse range of issues facing the sector. These include improving the student experience, digital skills, AI, educational technology, literacy, numeracy and wellbeing.
The Management Committee meets via Zoom four times a year to discuss strategy, finances, business priorities and planning.
