When the ALA awarded Totten the Melvil Dewey Medal in 2001, the citation included mention of his outstanding role on the 1992 ALA Committee for Accreditation. The citation is quoted below. "For his leadership in library education both as a dedicated and a distinguished chair of the ALA Committee on Accreditation which developed the 1992 standards, he is described as “the most committed academic scholar ever to have focused on issues related to accreditation…” Having served on 19 accreditation visits as a team member and/or chair and is considered to have a remarkable ability to apply the accreditation standards fairly and judiciously" ALA COA Site Visits
