| Abstract: | Standards are necessary to ensure that quality programs in Library and Information Science are delivered. The paper outlines the development of library education programs in Jordan. It places particular emphasis on the development, beginning in 1998, of the programs in private universities and describes the design of library standards for those programs at the undergraduate level. A historical look at Jordan, the higher education system, emergence and development of private universities are reviewed and standards are prescribed. The standards include rationales, objectives, curricula, study plans, basic and supplementary courses required, major subject areas of study, faculty qualifications, student admission, physical resources and facilities, and administration and financial support. |
