SCONUL and quality assurance
Abstract
Provides an overview of the activities of SCONUL (Standing Conference of University Libraries) with regard to quality assurance in higher education since 1993. Outlines the contribution of a joint working group set up by SCONUL and the Funding Council quality agencies; setting out the working group’s terms of reference, weaknesses identified in the inspection process for library support services for academic subjects, and setting out a checklist of aspects which assessors should be looking for. Concludes that SCONUL has an important future role with regard to quality assurance procedures for libraries in higher education, and with regard to the place of libraries and other learning resources in such institutions.
