Is your school even accredited?

…did you just ask if Northeastern was accredited ?

They accepted something like 400 people out of 90,000 applicants for their undergrad this year. It’s one of the best schools on the planet.

Dude, the OP said "ours [library websites] are [created and maintained] by students on work study, computer code, and recently some AI." Without knowing where the OP went to school, I asked if it was accredited based on his clearly inaccurate assertion about who manages the library web content. I have no doubt Northeastern is accredited and their library is above reproach. I'll bet the lives of my children that their website is not managed by work study students.

So they did. I must've blown past it. They also said, "we’ve never had books in our library (or any other public spaces) since I’ve been here." But the web site says, "Resources include close to 500,000 print volumes." I'll take your word that the university accepts 400 out of 90,000, but the OP is really one in a million.

Teach the students and help build the code and AI that maintains the library. I know a few of those have relationships with google where a few friends have gone to work right out of college.

Edit to clarify: Everyone on that list is involved with research projects in some form, teaches in some form, or involved with another association or company.
