We will examine the Chartermark, Investor in People, Helicon and Peer review in FE College Libraries, determine the relevance of these different accreditation schemes, discover the pros and cons of each scheme and network with other colleagues from across the region Guest speakers include John Morrow (Newcastle University Library), Steve Cropper (Wirral Metropolitan College), David Peacock and Sharon Dobbin (NHS) and a speaker to be confirmed from Durham County Libraries.
