Reviewing other people’s libraries

Abstract

Examines the role of the external assessor in the review of academic libraries. Considers the various types of library review and, within them, the differing roles of the assessor. Discusses the training preparation needs, documentary requirements of, and benefits to external reviewers. In conclusion, proposes that, as the external reviewer can have an important influence in library reviews, there should be suitable training and an agreed code of conduct.
