Posted: November 6th, 2012

Sam Kalb of Queen’s University Library is one of the 2012 recipients of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Library Assessment Career Achievement Award.  ARL’s web page states: “These awards recognize individuals with substantial contributions to effective, sustainable, and practical library assessment as evidenced through presentations/publications, methods, service, advocacy, and other work.”

Sam was presented with his award on October 30 before a large group of colleagues from around the world at the 2012 Library Assessment Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Sam’s leadership in expanding library assessment across Canada and coordinating the  LibQUAL+® Canada consortium were among the notable achievements cited by ARL in its news release announcing this year’s recipients.  Congratulations to Sam on this well-deserved honour!
