Affirming Ourselves: Libraries and the Accreditation Process

Is your academic library participating in accreditation this year or in the next few years? Most academic libraries in Louisiana are active in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) reaffirmation and interim reporting process. Responsibilities include data collection, draft writing, compilation of supporting documents and other duties. Furthermore, libraries are frequently involved in the establishment and implementation of the accompanying Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). This round table serves as a discussion and support session for those administrators and faculty who are involved in SACS accreditation.
