Dear Colleagues, Accreditation application season is here! There are many reasons to apply for accreditation or to apply for the renewal of your library's accreditation. AJL members have found that the very process of applying, and not only the receiving of accreditation, helps them in a variety of ways:
- The process encourages the librarian to review the library resources, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the collection, resources and programs, and plan for library enhancements - Accreditation raises the profile of the library in the eyes of the organization and community - Receiving accreditation reinforces the status of the librarian as a key professional administering a state-of-the-art facility with much to contribute to the parent organization Application forms can be found on the AJL website: log in, and then go to the Members Only area. All applications must be submitted by *February 16*, although you are welcome to submit your application earlier than that. Together with the other members of the AJL Accreditation Committee, I look forward to receiving your accreditation/renewal of accreditation applications and learning more about your libraries. Shaindy Kurzmann Chair, AJL Accreditation Committee sbkaj...@gmail.com
