ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 4 4 8 / C&RL News Need to talk to someone about accreditation? ACRL determined several months ago to prepare a directory of individuals who enjoy expertise in accreditation, both institutional and specialized. Accordingly, an Accreditation Advi­ sors Board was formed. C riteria This Board solicited applications from individu­ als w ho had accreditation experience and met the following criteria: 1. An ALA-accredited degree in library/in- formation science. 2. Knowledge of academic librarianship, its role in higher education, and the accreditation process. 3. Interpersonal, communication, and orga­ nizational skills. 4. Served as a member on three or more “accreditation teams” for a regional accrediting association (e.g., Middle States, Southern, West­ ern, etc.) or professional association (e.g., Na­ tional Council for Accreditation of Teacher Edu­ cation [NCATE], Accreditation Board of Engi­ neering and Technology, etc.). H o w to becom e a n a d viso r There were several responses and those who have met the criteria, as of this writing, are listed below. Should you have any questions related to the list please contact any member of the Advisory Board including Mignon Adams (Philadelphia College of Pharmacy & Science), Keith Cottam (University of Wyoming), Bar­ bara Williams-Jenkins (South Carolina State College), or David Walch (California Polytech­ nic University). If you meet the criteria and are willing to be listed as an accreditation consult­ ant you should request an application from: David B. Walch, D ean of Library Services, Kennedy Library, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407; (805) 756-2344.
