THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS
Welcome to the SLIS Accreditation site!
The School of Library and Information Science is preparing for re-accreditation by the American Library Association in 2009. This is a major undertaking, and requires systematic preparation and broad communication. We have developed this site to share news and information with our students, alumni, and other supporters. We want your feedback too! If you have comments, suggestions, or responses to the information you see here, please contact us.
