	Equivalency of Qualifications in Anglo/American Countries - 60th IFLA General Conference
		The basis for equivalency of first professional qualifications in library and information studies between the USA and Canada, and Great Britain and countries influenced by the British educational tradition such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa (Anglo/American library education) is the accrediting of first professional qualifications by the professional library association.
		The purpose of accreditation by professional associations is to see that courses meet the professional standards of the associations, thus protecting society from poorly prepared practitioners.
		By 1980 graduate level entry for professional membership of the LA was accepted, which meant librarians had to possess undergraduate degrees in librarianship, or hold a graduate diploma in librarianship.(3) Thus undergraduate and graduate diploma level courses were accredited in the 1980s.

		The Iraq Foundation is setting up a data bank to document and make accessible the wealth of professional qualifications, talents and expertise of over 3 million expatriate Iraqis, and thereby to contribute towards the reconstruction of Iraq.
		While an equal richness of professional skills exists among Iraqis inside Iraq, (as attested by the extraordinary reconstruction effort undertaken in the very difficult environment of sanctions) there are two reasons why expatriate Iraqis will nevertheless be indispensable to Iraq’s future.
		Second, Iraqi professionals have been living in relative isolation from the outside world, and have been unable to keep up with the scientific, academic and professional developments and innovations that have occurred around the world in the past 12 years.

	An investigation of LIS qualifications throughout the World - 66th IFLA Council and General Conference - Conference ...

		The issues of equivalencies of qualifications throughout the world are difficult, although it may not be a situation that is unique to the LIS profession.
