Roberto Sarmiento Wins 2009 Professional Achievement Award

The Transportation Division of the Special Libraries Association recently presented its 2009 Professional Achievement Award to Northwestern's Roberto Sarmiento. The award recognizes not only Roberto's outstanding contributions to the division, but also his distinguished service and significant contributions to transportation libraries and librarianship across the country. The citation reads in part:
"As director of NUTL, Roberto has maintained the library's stature as the premier transportation library in the world. His dedication to the highest standards of operations and services has served as a model for transportation libraries everywhere. In particular, his commitment to collaboration and cooperation and efforts to make transportation information accessible to research and practitioners everywhere have benefited countless members of the transportation community."
All of Roberto's colleagues in the Special Libraries Division and across Northwestern University Library salute him for this award and for his achievement—and for helping us all by contributing to Northwestern's reputation for excellence, nationally and internationally.
