PS, the CILIP website says this:
CILIP has a reciprocal agreement with the American Library Association and
the Australian Library and Information Association which means academic
qualifications accredited by those bodies are recognized in the UK. This
allows graduates holding American, Canadian and Australian Bachelors and
Masters degrees in library and information studies to apply for posts asking
for qualified librarians and information professionals in the UK

Subject: [ARLIS-L] UK = ALA Accredited MLIS programs?
Hello All,
I know the importance of attending an ALA-accredited program for the
M.L.I.S., and that Canada and the U.S. have a reciprocal agreement on
that point, but is there an equivalency for British "M.L.I.S."
students? If one were to obtain this degree, or its equivalent, in
the U.K., would it be difficult to apply it to positions open in the
U.S. as there seems to be no standard equivalency stated? Any
insights anyone could lend to this question would be very much
appreciated. It is for my daughter who is looking at graduate schools
abroad and would prefer a dual program in art history and
library/information studies.
Deborah McGowan, M.A., M.L.I.S.
