ALIA guidelines for industry placement: Diploma of Library and Information Services

This document provides best practice guidelines for organising industry placements and provides detail on industry placement processes for educators seeking guidance on best practice principles in industry placements. 
 
The Guidelines are intended to provide a ‘best practice’ model for VET LIS course providers, the host organisations and students with the aim of achieving the best possible industry-relevant experience for the students. This revised and updated version of the Guidelines is aligned to key national resources, and they will serve as benchmark indicators of ‘best practice’ that can be used ALIA VET Placement Guidelines to strengthen placement practices. The Guidelines will also be used as a key resource by ALIA during course accreditation and should result in greater consistency across Australia.
