Leading the way

I am delighted to report that the UCL Library Services Leadership Team has been shortlisted for the prestigious Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Awards 2016, for demonstrating best practice during the 2014-15 academic year.

The Outstanding Library Team award recognizes outstanding work in library and information-services departments. The fact that UCL Library Services is recognized by being shortlisted is a great tribute to the work of the Leadership Team, whose role it is to oversee the preparation, communication, delivery and maintenance of the UCL Library Services Strategy. More broadly, it is an accolade at a national level for the tremendous work of all Library Services staff in delivering the strategy and meeting the challenges of providing high-quality information services in a research-based university of the size of UCL.

To be shortlisted for a THELMA is already a significant achievement. Congratulations to all involved in securing this recognition for our outstanding work as a department. The awards ceremony is due to be held on 23 June.
