It's official - the Whittaker Library is excellent!

Karen was presented with one of 14 IAML (UK and Ireland) Excellence Awards on behalf of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Whittaker Library, at the EasterAnnual Study Weekend for British and Irish music librarians.  So it's official - we're excellent!  We're proudly displaying our certificate at the library issue desk.  Have you seen it?

This is a hard-working conservatoire library with a clear sense of its role and mission within Scottish culture. It is actively engaged in collaborative work with other Scottish educational and cultural institutions and ensures its team is involved with staff development activities. Encouraging and responding to user feedback is a strong theme making good use of social media (a blog and Twitter for example) as well as initiatives such as “you asked for...we responded with...”.
