Dear faculty and adjuncts, I’m writing with an update on our progress towards ALA accreditation. Last week, I submitted our Self Study Plan to ALA, and Ping Li and I have a meeting with ALA this Thursday to discuss the plan. Our full Self Study is due in mid-November. I have hired Irene Gashurov to lead the writing of the Self Study. Irene is a technical writer with a knowledge of libraries, as she is working with CUNY’s Office of Library Services. If Irene contacts you for information or asks you to supply some text, please assist her as a priority. With thanks, James Dr. James Lowry Acting Chair Associate Professor Information Studies, Queens College<https://sites.google.com/view/qcgslis> City University of New York<https://www.cuny.edu/> Series Editor, Routledge Studies in Archives<https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Studies-in-Archives/book-series/RSARCH> @JamesLowryATL
