Launching this September, each month we will select a Library of the Month. We are honouring libraries who have been using our library technologies in interesting and innovative ways, from creating well-curated reading lists with Talis Aspire to encouraging uptake of the Lean Library browser extension amongst their students. We are also appreciating the intensive work of librarians in curating these technologies and improving learning outcomes for their students.
The winning library will be awarded a prize to share amongst their team or a donation to a charity of their choice as a way for us to say thank you.
This month’s winner is: University of Phoenix
University of Phoenix is an online college that is accredited and has degrees that align to careers. We love working with University of Phoenix and awarded them our inaugural Library of the Month Award for September, as they are a great advocate of Lean Library! The library also has an engaging and creative social media presence – we love their ‘Keeping up with the Librarians’ series. We admire their ability to promote their library in an innovative way.
We asked PJ Purchase MLIS, MBA, MSDS, University Librarian and Director of University Library, at the University of Phoenix to tell us more about the university library and what winning Library of the Month meant to them:
"The University of Phoenix Library is a fully digital library serving students worldwide. By utilizing advanced technology, we connect users with a vast array of information and resources, no matter where our students are located. Our commitment to continuously improving the library experience drives us to eliminate barriers and ensure that all our constituents have equitable access to the information they need.
We recognize that this work would not be possible without the innovative support and cutting-edge tools provided by our partners. Their contributions enable us to push the boundaries of what a digital library can achieve, making our services more efficient, user-friendly, and comprehensive.
We are honored to be recognized as the Library of the Month by Technology from Sage. This prestigious award is a testament to the strength of our partnership and our relentless drive to serve our community with excellence." – PJ Purchase, University of Phoenix.
As University of Phoenix are a fully digital library, this is the view of the library students and researchers will experience.
Congratulations to PJ and the team at University of Phoenix Library!
Could your library be next?
