Signposts to librarian-esque excellence

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)* is a professional association for academic librarians. Recently its Board of Directors approved several new and revised standards and guidelines, including:

• Standards for Faculty Status for Academic Librarians
• Guidelines for Academic Librarians Without Faculty Status
• Information Literacy Competency Standards for Journalism Students and Professionals (PDF)
• Guidelines for Instruction Programs in Academic Libraries
• Standards for Libraries in Higher Education
• Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education

Your Marygrove librarians use standards like these to deliver consistently excellent service. We also rely on you - students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the Detroit community - to learn how to best serve your needs. As always, we welcome hearing from you: 313.927.1346 or marygrovelibrary [at] gmail.com.

* The ACRL is a division of the American Library Association. It's a professional association of academic librarians and other interested individuals, dedicated to enhancing the ability of academic library and information professionals to serve the information needs of the higher education community and to improve learning, teaching, and research.
