Abstract

This paper discusses the certification standards of Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals and the certification standard of National Vocational Qualifications and their relative implementation systems by use of literature survey and content analysis. The former standard contains three levels of certification standards named as ACLIP, MCLIP and FCLIP and the certification implementing agency occupied by the special evaluation committee, and stipulates the minimum application requirements for each level of the applicant, and carries out systematized qualification certification by treating all materials in a formal certification program. The latter standard contains three national vocational qualification levels named as IL2, IL3 and IL4 and their access requirements, and implements systematized qualification certification through a certification program including planning, evidence presentation and feedback.The five main characteristics about the professional qualification certifications of libraries in UK are finally analyzed.
