“please note that a qualification recognised by the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals (CILIP) is essential.”

Seems pretty unambiguous.  Does this mean that anyone with a Masters Degree in Archives & Records Management from either UCL or Liverpool, or from Dundee (none of which, unless I’m missing something, appear to be credited by CILIP according to their website http://www.cilip.org.uk/qualificationschartership/Wheretostudy/) would be deemed ineligible for this Information & Records Management post?
