Practitioners as educators: formal quality assessment of the Bristol MSc in Information and Library Management

Abstract

This article updates a more substantial article published in Library Review in 1999. The earlier article describes an LIS school based in the University of Bristol. The school runs an MSc in Information and Library Management which is unique in the UK as it is taught by practising LIS professionals. The present article reports on recent quality assessment of the MSc by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. This quality assessment awarded the course the highest possible marks and the article explains why the course received such a strong endorsement.
