- Summary:
-
To involve other professional and educational groups in the accreditation process of educational programs in the field of library and information science, for which the American Library Association (ALA) has current responsibility, this project developed specific recommendations with respect to the following needs: (1) to effect procedures and inter-organizational arrangements that will provide the basis for participation of multiple societies; (2) to establish guidelines by which the specific interests and concerns of each participating society will be recognized in the accreditation process; and (3) to revise as necessary the 1972 Standards for Accreditation, which provide the current basis for evaluation of programs. The report consists of eight chapters and four appendices. The first chapter is an executive summary, intended to serve not only as an introduction but as a free-standing document in itself, suitable for communication of the results to a large audience. The second chapter is a background paper describing the current accreditation process and the role of the ALA Committee on Accreditation. Chapters 3 and 4 are concerned with procedural issues related to organizing and financing the accreditation process in the context of the involvement of multiple professional societies. Chapters 5 through 8 are concerned with substantive issues involved in the evaluation of educational programs in the field, with emphasis on the interests of participating societies. The appendices contain the 1972 accreditation standards, a table showing accredited programs from 1925 to March 1986, a bibliography of relevant documents, and listings of participating societies and people who donated their energies to this project.
