    Hi, everyone:

    I've been asked to share this message from the ALA Committee on Accreditation. Please take time to complete the survey.

    The Committee on Accreditation is seeking feedback from the library and information studies (LIS) and professional community, educators, students, and the public on the 2022 update to the ALA Standards for Accreditation of Master's Programs in Library and Information Studies.
    On behalf of the Committee on Accreditation and Executive Board liaison Karen Schneider, I am sharing with you the link to the updated revision of the standard and survey, and ask you to please share this widely with your membership, and ask them to share widely with their work colleagues. Don't forget to fill it out and share it with your library networks as well! The survey is available through May 13, 2022. https://www.ala.org/aboutala/2022-update-ala-standards-accreditation-master%E2%80%99s-programs-library-and-information-studies
    Thank you in advance for helping us make the curricula available at accredited schools more inclusive of topics such as EDI in the field, social justice, digital equity, serving underserved populations, book banning, intellectual freedom, etc. - and therefore more relevant and useful to those working in our field today.
