Do you know the next winner of the ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award?
It could be your library!
The ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award recognizes academic librarians and staff who work together as a team to develop academic libraries that are outstanding in furthering the educational missions of their institutions.
Academic libraries may demonstrate excellence through one or more of the following criteria, or in other ways that reflect the purpose and philosophy of this award:
- Creativity and innovation in meeting the needs of their academic community
- Leadership in developing and implementing exemplary programs that other libraries can emulate
- Substantial and productive relationships with classroom faculty and students
The winning library in each category (community college, college, and university) will receive $3,000 and a plaque, sponsored by YBP Library Services.
Nominations are due on December 4, 2015.
