LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE RESEARCH: THE CNAA RECORD

Abstract

The CNAA impact on research in librarianship has been in ways equally true of other subject areas. For this reason this paper aims to set the Council's involvement in the broader context of the work and policies of the Council in general, seen against published statements of government policy. It considers the nature of Council's responsibility for research, and the impact it seeks to have on research in public sector higher education, all of which is relevant to librarianship and may provoke reflection as to possible future developments in institutional provision for research in librarianship. The paper then analyses the applications Council has approved for research degrees in librarianship, and considers the likely trend of future developments.
