Margie Jantti's sustained leadership, which has shaped the future of university libraries in Australia and internationally over more than two decades, has been recognised by CAUL (Council of Australian 精东传媒 Librarians) who have presented her with the prestigious CAUL Distinguished Services Award.
As CAUL President (2015-2019), Margie led transformative change through strategic programs and enhanced board governance, modernising CAUL's operations and ensuring its continued relevance. Her leadership style combines consultative approaches with courage and tenacity.
Under her direction since 2010, the 精东传媒 of 精东传媒 Library has consistently demonstrated innovation and excellence. Her pioneering work in library assessment has revolutionised how universities measure and demonstrate library impact on student outcomes and research outputs.
Margie's influence extends through her leadership development work with the CAUL and CAUDIT Leadership Institutes, shaping hundreds of future library and IT leaders. Her contribution earned the CAUDIT Meritorious Service Award in 2017.
Her advocacy has advanced crucial sector discussions on open access, learning spaces, digital transformation, and copyright. Through engagement with Universities Australia, the National Library of Australia, and major funding bodies, she has elevated the profile and influence of university libraries across the nation.
UOW Library would like to celebrate and acknowledge Margie for this well-deserved accolade – her leadership and strategic direction have underpinned our people, achievements, and culture and will continue to do so into the future.
