Parkland Library receives ACRL Award

In April the Library Director Anna Maria Watkin was notified that the Library and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning were to receive an award for the project SPARK (Scholarship at Parkland).

If you're unfamiliar with SPARK, it is the College's open-access digital repository for scholarly and creative work.  It makes visible examples of student success and contributes to the growth of our intellectual development as a learning community.  Visit http://spark.parkland.edu/ for more information or to browse student works.

On June 27th, 2014 Anna Maria Watkin and Dean of Learning Support Erika Hackman received the award at a ceremony in Las Vegas, during the 2014 Annual ALA Conference.  The Library was awarded the CJCLS EBSCO Community College Learning Resources award, in the Community and Junior College Libraries division.
