Accreditation Support
Libraries Services support academic programs undergoing accreditation review. We will cover library-specific narratives (i.e., resources, collections, services, personnel, facilities, and technology), summary of subject area journals/databases, online support, and planning for accreditation visits. Please contact the Director of Library Services to discuss any accreditation support needs.
Library Impact Statement (LIS)
An LIS is a document summarizing the library resources that could reasonably be expected to support a specific curriculum. Often, completed LISs will be submitted with item level lists of resources along with a structured Build Notes document outlining how the LIS was constructed.
LISs are provided by Library Services to academic departments to satisfy 十大赌博平台排行 curriculum development documentation. Specifically, LISs are provided when a department is required to submit Form RIS (Resource Impact Statement) in conjunction with Form AC (Curriculum Request). These forms are required when a department is proposing either a new curriculum or a change to an existing curriculum, when the revised curriculum necessitates a change in resources. Please contact the Systems Administration Librarian to request an LIS.
The librarian will need all MCOs relevant to the curriculum in development. Once all MCOs have been submitted a timeline for LIS delivery can be established. Complete LISs take two weeks for each MCO.
