The Library Outstanding awards are an annual program to recognize exceptional employees across different employee classifications.
Calls for nominations are sent to LibNews. Each award has specific eligibility requirements and criteria. When possible, winners of the Outstanding Award are nominated to the campus-level equivalent.
The calls for nominations are usually on this cycle:
| Timing | Award |
|---|---|
| Outstanding Academic Professional | Early September |
| Outstanding Civil Service Member | Late October |
| Outstanding Undergraduate Student Worker | Late January |
| Outstanding Graduate Student Worker | Early March |
| Outstanding Faculty Member | Late April |
| Outstanding Public Engagement | Early June |
