PAARL, PAASCU, AACCUP and PACUCOA standards
N G Agustero
Can anyone provide me with information if linkages is indeed part of the
criteria for the accreditation of the standards mentioned above? If so, is it
an overall institutional criterion, thus not specified in the specific criteria
for libraries?
My initial and limited findings:
1. PAARL 2000 = no mention of it
2. The newly BFL-approved Standards for Academic Libraries specified it.
3. PAASCU = not mentioned in the library instrument
4. As for AACCUP, (excerpt) "for Level III. The program is then evaluated and
must excel in four (4) areas, namely: 1) instruction and 2) extension, which
are mandatory; and two (2) more areas to be chosen from among research,
performance in licensure examination, faculty development, and linkages".
However the general criteria specified only the following:
1. Mission, goals and objectives
2. Faculty
3. Curriculum and Instruction
4. Students
5. Research
6. Extension and Community Involvement
7. Library
8. Physical Facilities
9. Laboratories
10. Administration
5. I was not able to get specific information on PACUCOA.
Any information will be greatly appreciated as this is important for my analysis
of my PhD thesis. So far, I am giving the AACCUP, BFL & PAASCU standards unfair
advantage in my discussion since either I got copies of the instruments or most
relevant information is available online.
Cheers, Nora

Provisions requiring linkages and networking are found in key areas in our PAARL Library Standards 2000, such as:
Under Administration
2.10 As far as possible, the library shall get involved in professional activities, regional, national or international, participate in resource sharing or networking activities, and utilize cooperative library programs to enhance its resources and services and to reduce operating costs, subject to institutional policies.
Under Financial Support
3.1 Where institutional funds are inadequate, other ways of augmenting the library's financial resources shall be explored. These include endowments and donations, and participation in exchange programs and consortia or cooperative projects.
Under Collection
4.2.6 To enhance its collection and reduce costs, the library shall initiate and maintain resource-sharing arrangements with other libraries.
Under Services
6.1 The library should strive, as far as possible, to enhance information access through networking, resource sharing, online information services, and use of technological advances. Interlibrary loan activities and document-delivery services, shall be encouraged for the purpose of increasing resources and extending cooperation with other libraries.
As I mentioned in my last lecture presentation on "PAARL Standards Going 10" at the Feb 5 Public Forum organized by PAARL, it is recommended that Networking and Linkages be made a separate key area in the revision of the PAARL Standards, to include all the above provisions in addition to new updates.
