Abstract

Provides practical advice and guidance to subject librarians in UK academic libraries preparing for teaching quality assessment (TQA) visits. Suggests what action librarians should take prior to an assessment visit, including forms of departmental liaison. Provides a comprehensive checklist, arranged into six broad categories, of those issues which can be raised by assessors. Describes the author's recent experiences of TQA for science and engineering subjects at the University of Edinburgh. Indicates what action should be taken after the assessment visit.
