The University of Ottawa Library has joined the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) as its 125th member. The membership of the ARL voted to invite the University of Ottawa Library to join as its 125th member during its 2010 Spring Membership Meeting in Seattle, WA. University Librarian, Leslie Weir, accepted the invitation.
The vote of membership followed a multi-year review process of the University of Ottawa Library that considered both qualitative and quantitative documentation and involved site visits. The review also examined the breadth and depth of collections, uniqueness of research resources, services to the Library's community, potential contributions to scholarship, and leadership in the library and information science profession. The review committee noted in particular the sustained growth of the institution and its support for the Library over the past decade.
The University of Ottawa claims to be one of Canada's top research-intensive universities. The Library brings together people, expertise, and knowledge resources in physical and virtual environments that foster research, teaching, and learning in both official languages. As a valued partner in the University community, the Library builds and preserves collections and facilitates the discovery and use of knowledge resources both within and beyond its walls through innovative services and technologies.
