Abstract
The paper examined the essence of educational institution libraries, the
place of institutional and programme accreditation, the role of libraries in
institutional and programme accreditation, and advance reasons why educational
institution libraries need to be periodically accredited by an accreditation body.
Library accreditation indicators were proposed. It concluded that considering the
relevance of libraries in educational institutions, they need to be externally
assessed periodically to determine their readiness and competence to support
and respond effective and efficiently to the continued changing milieu of the
institutions' strategic areas of interest.
