SUBJECT:

UCSD's Accreditation Review -- A Request for Your Help

Your input is needed for UCSD's reaffirmation of accreditation review. What we request is just 10 minutes of your time to complete a brief survey. To participate in the survey, simply click on the following link: http://academicaffairs.ucsd.edu/r/infolit-fac.htm

Please complete your survey by WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, in order to have your feedback included.

As part of the process of UCSD's accreditation reaffirmation review, University Librarian Brian Schottlaender and I have formed an Advisory Group to study information literacy, one of four themes identified by the Senate-Administration Advisory Committee for WASC Accreditation to serve as the foci of our review. The Advisory Group (membership listed below) is charged to develop a written report with recommendations for how UCSD should leverage and develop our investments and activities surrounding information literacy.

This survey is intended to gather information that will help the group understand the current environment and practices at UCSD for these activities. Your responses are vital to the group's work; your input will directly inform the recommendations that are made. Please spend the short amount of time it will take to complete.

Thank you in advance for your speedy completion of the survey.
