This article lists a number of sources for accreditation requirements. Some programs in my experience can be pretty specific, others so generic as to be almost useless, just depends on the field. Same with site visits – if you get someone who is into libraries, it is much different than those who don’t care. SCHMIEDEL, Tom. Library support for accreditation: A guide to online resources.

Some misread this an think that we must subscribe to specific titles, but that is not the case - just a specific number of a specific criteria. I think a warehouse of accreditation requirements would be very useful - but like all such ideas, the hard part is maintaining it. Karen R.

I'd like to know which accrediting bodies list titles to which a library must subscribe. One that I've found is the American Chemical Society's Guidelines and Evaluation Procedures for Bachelors Degree Programs which states: "An approved program must provide immediate institutional access to no fewer than 14 current and archival, peer-reviewed journals whose subject matter spans the chemical sciences. At least three of the journals must have a general focus (for example, Science, JACS, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Chemistry – A European Journal, Chemical Communications, etc.), and at least one must come from each area of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and chemistry education." Has anyone else come across language that is this specific?
