[LIBRARYDIR] NWCCU meeting Friday - google doc with collected information

Fri Mar 15 16:54:00 PDT 2019

Hi everyone, at our meeting today we discussed the need to

 develop a list of holistic library elements that we can use to work with our respective ALOs. We also decided to include suggestions for specific language for the standards.

As we make suggestions, keep in mind the big picture in that we should minimize the description of “what we do” or “what we need” and instead focus on:

  *   impact

  *   the “whole” role of the library, and

  *   how those holistic elements (integration with faculty, assuring students can discern quality information and successfully complete assignments...) assure institutional quality and play a critical role in contributing to learning.

Overall, focus on how the library elevates student learning, graduation, and retention.

Here's the google doc to work on collaboratively. I got us started with some ideas; please add your own. This is a tight deadline, so please make suggestions asap, next Friday at the latest (Mar 22).

Hello everyone.  I am happy to see this discussion.  I was also disappointed in the wording of several of the new standards, and the library was one of them.  I share your concerns that they focused on a collection and not the impact.  If you do write a response for your ALO, it would be good to let them know it it coming so that they don't submit your institutional response without your input.

I would suggest thinking about the role of the commission -- their job is to assure standards are met and through those they attempt to define quality.  So in your response, if you go to 1)the whole role of the library, not just the collections; 2)the lack of impact of the verb they chose, and 3) how those other holistic library elements (integration with faculty, assuring students can discern quality information and successfully complete assignments...) assure institutional quality play a critical role in contributing to learning as opposed to what librarians need or want or see the library you will reach a wider audience.  They are moving to an accreditation system that elevates student learning, graduation, and retention.  Focus on the library contributions to that aspect of the college mission. 

I would also give them language to work with.  What is your suggested language for them to change to?

I am the ALO for Pierce and plan to respond with these themes.  I know you will make your own good decisions.

my two cents.  -deb

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] NWCCU meeting Friday - google doc with collected information

Hi everyone, I started a google doc collecting feedback so far about the new NWCCU standards. I don't have the newest letter from the Alliance, so if someone has that, please add it to the doc - I have a placeholder, just no link.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ofXCrMBs6QqLeTG6PX79wenfEYU-4V47BQsStp4EBfE/edit?usp=sharing

If you have any other information you feel would be helpful for the meeting, please add that to the doc, as well. I'm sure there are some gaps.

As a reminder, our meeting is on this Friday, the 15th, at Noon. Here is the link, again:

Thanks!
