A copy of the full report is located in the Faculty Resource Center (FRC).

In the Recommendations for Standard 11: Educational Offerings, it states:
"The Team recommends that College take a more proactive approach to Information Literacy by having librarians on both campuses take a Team teaching approach, promoting greater collaboration between the libraries and integration throughout the curriculum. Information literacy is an essential component of any educational program at the undergraduate or graduate levels."

Our Library is ready to implement this recommendation. We envision a more in-depth, personalized experience of collaboration between faculty member and librarian.
"Suggested Titles for Collection Development"
