Professional
qualification
“A CILIP accredited programme is the best
preparation for professional practice. All
programmes are assessed using the
Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB)
which identifies the core knowledge and skills of
the profession.”

“As part of a module on academic libraries. We did assessed group presentations about
the pros and cons of OA for authors, librarians and publishers”
“Definitions of, benefits of, how the publishing system works with green and gold OA”
“We had about five lectures on it as part of different modules. One of the CityLIS lecturers
is very passionate about it”
Taught on your course?
@epicbayj #ncollab16Taught on your course?
“Not so much taught as mentioned in passing…”
“it's not”
“It was not taught at all. I and other students commented how it was surprising that such an
important topic was not formally taught as part of the course.”
@epicbayj #ncollab16
Adequate teaching?“Yes, for my current role. Probably not in the
long term”
“I have an understanding of OA through working in an institutional repository but
without this background knowledge I am not sure the teaching on the MA would have been
sufficient”
“Yes, I think so - though I wouldn't say I have a working knowledge of it”
@epicbayj #ncollab16Adequate teaching?
“It is not in depth enough and more people are not really aware of it”
“No, I think there should be a greater focus on OA and its importance”
“No” “No” “No” “Nope” “Nope” etc. etc.
@epicbayj #ncollab16Other good comments
“It is something I would definitely like to know more about. I am inspired to read more about
it in my semester break”
“Being able to demonstrate own capacity for it and actually practicing it goes a LOT further
than lecturing people”
“OA is good”
@epicbayj #ncollab16Other bad comments
“I don't know if I'd like to work in an OA role to be honest”
“I imagine my knowledge is already a bit out of date”
“Definitely think it's something that should be taught/discussed in library school”
