In 2009 the University of Cyprus Library achieved, as administrative unit, the EFQM award “Recognised for Excellence” with 3 stars. This distinction is the second out of three EFQM award levels regarding the administration and management of organizations or parts of them.

The University of Cyprus Library is the first library in Greece or Cyprus to be awarded this level of distinction.

This achievement is a great honor for the Library as well as the University of Cyprus, however its greatest value lies on the fact during the programme many areas of improvement were identified for which the Library either has taken action or will do so immediately.

The Library was evaluated by a team of official EFQM Assessors through a Submission Report and during a site-visit that took place on 25 and 26 November 2009.
