The IFLA Building Strong Library and Information
Science Education (BSLISE) Working Group is conducting an international study
to learn the differing qualification requirements (education, certification,
individual credentialing system) for library and information “professional”
practice in order to develop a better understanding of the equivalence of
credentials and the role of LIS education.
We invite the LIS community to participate in this survey to provide
information regarding professional qualification and certification in their
country. The results of this
international survey will contribute to a better understanding of these
practices and the equivalence of credentials globally. It will also serve as the initial phase of an
ongoing research project geared toward developing a framework to 1) assess the
quality of LIS education, and (2) determine the transferability of LIS
education, internationally.
Deadline: May 10, 2017. For more information,
