Now This is the much awaited and totally reworked sixth edition of The Library Association's policy statement on the nature and quality of learning resource provision in colleges. The advice offered in this edition is equally applicable to information professionals working in both the higher and further education sectors.
Emphasis is placed on the role of learning resource services in quality issues in education.
Based on operational experience and good current practice, the Guidelines provide recommendations on levels of service and resourcing. They outline what is expected of librarians and senior managers in the provision of a good library service committed to the development and management of learning. These Guidelines are essential reading not only for principal directors, senior managers and chartered librarians in colleges of higher and further education, but for all concerned with education in this and the schools sector.
