The Certification Review Committee

The Certification Review Committee includes active practitioners and library and information studies educators. There is one representative of the public (who may not be a librarian or employed by a library).

Charge

There shall be a standing certification review committee for each proposed certification specialty program, appointed by the ALA-APA Board of Directors, to exist for the life of that program. The purpose of a certification review committee will be to oversee development and administration of a validated method of measuring competence, based on the subject standards for professional practice, licensed from the American Library Association; establishment of an appeals process for the specific program; and, other implementation processes, subject to the approval of the ALA-APA Council. The certification review committee(s) will report to the ALA-APA Board of Directors.
