Abstract

Dublin Business School is Ireland’s largest independent higher education college offering over 100 accredited courses in business, arts, law, psychology, IT and more to over 9,000 students. In November 2006, Dublin Business School identified a niche in the marketplace for a postgraduate programme in library studies delivered on a part-time evening basis. DBS was ideally positioned to offer this programme as it has highly experienced faculty in IT and Management and strong links to industry which can be exploited to expand job opportunities for library graduates. DBS also had a long and fruitful partnership with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) which already had a highly regarded MSc in Information and Library Management.
