Bournemouth University wins the THE Outstanding Library Team Award
On Tuesday 9th June, Bournemouth University library was awarded the Times Higher Education (THE) Outstanding Library Team Award. After receiving the award in the evening at the London Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, the winners rushed back to Bournemouth to host SCONUL’s three day conference, which proved to be a second success for the team. During the conference, Chris Spencer, Bournemouth University’s Library Procurement Librarian, discussed with me the reasons for their success. As this announcement outlines, the library has led the way in its introduction of flexible learning spaces with innovative and popular features such as Techno Booths, illustrating Bournemouth’s strength of aligning education with technology. The library balances this focus on learning with a proven commitment to the research community, as the development of BURO, one of the UK’s largest online research repositories, demonstrates.
I was fortunate enough to get the chance to record a podcasting with three members of the library team to discuss their submission to the Outstanding Library Team Award, and it can be accessed here.
