Building Strong LIS Education (BSLISE) Webinar

Developing an international quality assessment framework for LIS Education:
experiences and opportunities from three accreditation programs

The IFLA Building Strong LIS Education (BSLISE) Working Group invites you to
a webinar that considers how associations cooperating internationally could
create an international quality assessment framework for LIS education. The
presentation will draw on the experience of delivering accreditation of
library and information studies (LIS) education programs by the American
Library Association (ALA), Australian Library and Information Association
(ALIA), and Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals
(CILIP), and the wider international context for quality assessment. It will
consider the challenges and opportunities in developing a framework and
consider how it could promote parity between accreditation criteria used by
national library associations to promote professional mobility globally. The
FREE presentation will be followed by discussion.
