UK university libraries supporting transnational education (TNE) partnerships

Open Access
|Jul 2020

Abstract

This article outlines the development and delivery of transnational education (TNE) by UK higher education institutions and reviews how libraries in the sector are supporting this. It reflects on findings from a library survey and event held in 2019 and the expectations and concerns about the support available to TNE students. It argues that whilst licensing of electronic content for TNE programmes is a key focus for both partners in a TNE relationship, effective library support for quality TNE provision also necessitates good internal and external communication and collaboration. Some suggestions on ways forward for libraries supporting TNE are made.
