[LIBRARYDIR] NWCCU Standards for Libraries

[Heath Hayden]

All:

I learned at a meeting this morning that the NWCCU accreditation standards for libraries/resources is going down from 4 to 1. Check out the new standards here: https://www.nwccu.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2020-NWCCU-ERs-and-Standards-1.pdf<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nwccu.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F08%2F2020-NWCCU-ERs-and-Standards-1.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cheath.hayden%40bellevuecollege.edu%7C0182312af4b64e177b9208d75bd280e7%7Cf94c251c1347422eb3ea8ac56befd6cb%7C0%7C0%7C637078831972540168&sdata=stdzs9dWowLRA%2F2RuCGlv4ZhQ6fCWcclO1PqPH%2BDDr8%3D&reserved=0>

One of our librarians pointed out that the library instructional focus has been dropped. It seems minimally representative of what we do.

What are your thoughts?
