Guidance for libraries
ABTAPL members can access our guidelines for theological libraries.
This document sets out guidelines for the provision of library services in colleges involved in theological education and training. It is primarily designed for independent colleges which support courses leading to a formal certificate, diploma or degree. It is hoped that it will also be of some practical use to the wider range of institutions that constitute the ABTAPL membership.
ABTAPL members can also access our advice on lending items between ABTAPL member institutions.
