7th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 20047th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 2004<h3><span style="color:#660033;"><span style="color:#660033;"><strong>Getting beyond the sta​​rting blocks: Quality assurance issues at academic libraries</strong></span></span></h3><h3><span style="color:#660033;"><span style="color:#660033;">28-29 October 2004 </span></span></h3><br><div> Quality assurance is a key issue for today's libraries in all sectors. Library managers are accountable to their end-users and to their management. End-users demand services of the highest standards, while management wants to be assured that their libraries are being managed cost-effectively​ and in line with the parent institution's mission and goals. In addition, all tertiary institutions in South Africa face quality audits, performed by the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC), and their libraries form an integral part of this process.</div><div> <br>The Symposium will focus on practical issues and will address the "how" rather than the "why" of quality assurance. In the spirit of the Olympics we therefore see this Symposium as a means of taking delegates beyond the preparation phase of quality assurance to where the actual race begins and people are leaving their starting blocks and start sprinting down the straight towards the goal line. The programme will include contributions by experts in the field from South Africa, Australia, the UK and the USA. They all have extensive practical experience of their topic and will talk about the pitfalls and drawbacks, as much as the benefits and successes.</div><div> <br> Although academic libraries in South Africa are in particular faced with HEQC quality assurance audits, the issue is relevant to all library sectors. The Symposium is therefore aimed at all library practitioners who strive to deliver services of the highest quality and who need a jump start on how to accomplish this.​ <p> <br> </p><h2
