ALA announces new online ALA-Accredited Master's Programs in Library and
Information Studies directory
CHICAGO - The
American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Accreditation is pleased to
announce its new Web-based directory of "ALA-Accredited Master's
Library and Information Studies Programs" (www.ala.org/lisdir).
The directory exists on the ALA Web site in a database format, and allows users
to easily search for programs that offer distance education, school library
media programs, and degrees other than the ALA accredited degree. Program
information may be searched by state or province, and programs are able to make
changes to their listings, thus improving the currency of the directory between
annual updates. Its online format also allows users to download a PDF
version of the entire directory.
"The Web-based greatly enhance the functionality and usefulness of the
directory," said Director of ALA's Office for Accreditation Ann
O'Neill. "The Office for Accreditation thanks the ALA accredited
programs for their cooperation in implementing this exciting new Web-based
publication."
ALA accreditation indicates that a program has undergone a self-evaluation
process, has been reviewed by peers, and meets the "Standards for
Accreditation of Master's Programs in Library and Information Studies"
that were established by the Committee on Accreditation and adopted by the ALA
Council in 1992. The Committee on Accreditation evaluates each program
for conformity to the Standards, which address mission, goals, and objectives,
curriculum, faculty, students, administration and financial support, and
physical resources and facilities.
