4M-boaWWYytcpuPK> , Villanova, Pa. Sponsored by ACRL and YBP Library
Services, the award recognizes the staff of a college, university and
community college library for programs that deliver exemplary services
and resources to further the educational mission of the institution.

"These deserving recipients demonstrate the commitment to student
learning, focus on continuous innovation and integration with the campus
community that exemplify today's best academic and research libraries,"
said ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen K. Davis. "Receiving an
Excellence in Academic Libraries Award is a national tribute to each
library and its staff for outstanding services, programs and
leadership."  

The Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) Library, winner in the
community college category, was chosen for its articulation of
organizational outcomes, emphasis on student learning and leveraging
staff resources for great impact.  

"The award committee was impressed with WWCC library's clarity of
purpose and mission and emphasis on student learning and success," said
Lisa Hinchliffe, chair of the 2013 Excellence in Academic Libraries
Committee and professor at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. "Working with the challenging circumstances of
interim, part-time and cyclic staff, the library's commitment to student
learning is embedded throughout its activities. From the heartfelt and
personal letters of support, it is clear that the WWCC serves its entire
community."  

"The growth in the breadth and depth of the information literacy program
is notable in many areas and the committee took particular note of the
dedication and innovation in serving students in the instructional
programs at two local correctional facilities," Hinchliffe continued.
"From the heartfelt and personal letters of support, it is clear that
the WWCC serves its entire community."  

"The Walla Walla Community College Library staff is thrilled and honored
to be a recipient of the 2013 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award,"
said WWCC Director of Library Services Stacy L. Prest. "The library
strives to find that perfect balance of effective classroom instruction,
modern technology and traditional resources without overlooking the
ever-important personal touch. The library staff is truly dedicated and
enthusiastically serves our diverse student body and surrounding
community. As we continue to draw inspiration from our students and
their successes, we fully embrace WWCC's mission of 'inspiring students
to discover their potential and achieve their goals.' We're proud to
help make a difference."  

Olin Library of Rollins College, winner of this year's award in the
college category, impressed the selection committee with its intentional
and extensive integration into the campus community as well as academic
programs.  

"Underscoring its centrality to the campus, Olin Library's renovated
library space, well-designed to meet user needs and well-used, served as
a place of comfort and community during Hurricane Isaac," noted
Hinchliffe. "The new organizational relationship with the Tutoring &
Writing Center, the establishment of the Center for Creativity
multimedia lab and initiation of a digital preservation program and
digital archivist position give further evidence to this centrality. The
emphasis on library performance and user satisfaction, data-information
decision making and engagement with systematic assessment of student
learning in general education underscore service development and
improvement."  

"Everyone at the Olin Library is honored to have won the 2013 ACRL
Excellence in Academic Libraries Award," said Jonathan Miller, director
of the library at Rollins College. "We are delighted that the
association has recognized all the hard work we have put in, along with
our partners in Information Technology and Tutoring & Writing
Consulting, to making the library a vibrant hub of intellectual and
community activity for the Rollins community. We could not have done
this without the sustained support of faculty, staff and most
importantly, students. Olin truly is their library."  

The Falvey Memorial Library at Villanova University, winner in the
university category, was selected for its continuous innovation in
serving the university's mission through an organizational structure
built around teams and work groups and collaborative philosophy.  

"Through true collaboration across all levels of the organization,
Falvey Memorial Library has leveraged expertise and enthusiasm to engage
itself in serving all aspects of Villanova University's mission," said
Hinchliffe. "The Learning Commons furthers this philosophy by
integrating library services and resources with other campus educational
centers in support of student learning and the additional event spaces
create a true public forum for the intellectual life. The library's work
in digital initiatives, particularly the partnerships with other
Catholic universities and the creation of vuFind

RAot0g==> , demonstrates the commitment to working collaboratively with
the broader library profession. vuFind is a quintessential example of
local work having global impact."  

"We are thrilled to receive this recognition for the achievements of
Falvey Memorial Library," said Joseph Lucia, university librarian at
Villanova University. "The ACRL Excellence Award represents for us the
highest level of peer endorsement of our efforts to create an innovative
'commons-centered' model for academic library service and success in the
digital era. There are many extraordinary academic libraries doing many
creative things at this time so it is difficult to stand out from the
pack.  We are truly honored to have been selected."  

Each winning library will receive $3,000 and a plaque, to be presented
at an award ceremony held on each recipient's campus.
