My team are responsible for Computing\/IT, E-Qualifications and Library awards — but we don’t develop many qualifications for librarians. So it was a particular pleasure to go forward for validation this morning for two new library awards: the Certificate in Applications of ICT in Libraries<\/em> and the Advanced Certificate in Applications of ICT in Libraries<\/em>. These new Professional Development Awards are designed for practicing librarians – of which there are 4000 in Scotland alone – although we’re hoping that these awards will have international appeal.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

This development has been led by Rhona Arthur <\/a>of SLIC<\/a>. The funding was provided by the Big Lottery Fund<\/a>. Cleo Jones <\/a>(Edinburgh Council) chaired the Validation Panel.<\/p>\n

The validation event went well. The Panel felt that the level of the awards should be increased and it was agreed to re-title the awards: Diploma in Applications of ICT in Libraries <\/em>and Advanced Diploma in Applications of ICT in Libraries.<\/em> Although a number of conditions were placed on the proposals, we’re confident that the awards can be approved by the end of June.<\/p>\n

Angela Orr <\/a>is the SQA contact for these awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
