International accreditation for LIS courses
I am increasingly asked by international students hoping to study in London, whether our masters courses at City University London are accredited internationally. Our three Information Studies Scheme courses, Information Science, Library Science and Information Management in the Cultural Sector, are all accredited by the UK professional body CILIP, and as such are recognised as having equivalent professional status in the USA and in Australia.
LIS courses in the USA are accredited by the American Library Association, ALA, and their specific reference to international courses can be found here.
LIS courses in Australia are accredited by the Australian Library and Information Association, ALIA, and their specific reference to international courses can be found here.
