Good morning David:

What “committee” is asking?  The questions seem that they should be directed to a different desk rather than Library Deans/Directors;  or is that what the committee is asking us to do?

Thank you

Greetings colleagues. See the questions below from Dr. David L McMillan, Director of Library Services, Bluefield State University (WV):

Good Morning,

I know we all are talking about retention and graduation rates. Our committee asked me to ask other library directors and deans the following:

1. What are your respective graduation rates?
2. What is causing trouble for student success?
3. What courses are the most problematic for your students?
4. What are successful programs?

Thank you all for your help! Please respond to me directly at dmcmillan@bluefieldstate.edumailto:dmcmillan@bluefieldstate.edu

I agree with Adrienne, most of the data can be obtained from Institutional Research. Check university websites as some of that data is public information and posted on the web.

I am in agreement with everything that has been said. At Oakwood, we would have to send it to Institutional Research, which would probably restate what was reported to IPEDS.

I agree with Adrienne, most of the data can be obtained from Institutional Research. Check university websites as some of that data is public information and posted on the web.

I also agree with Loretta on who is asking?  Institutional Research would be the repository for the accurate information and should be the provider of the information on behalf of the University.

Good morning David:

What “committee” is asking?  The questions seem that they should be directed to a different desk rather than Library Deans/Directors;  or is that what the committee is asking us to do?

Thank you
