Apparently US News hasn’t gotten around to an issue devoted to college library rankings (give it time).

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) - part of the American Library Association - does yearly name a “best” library in the university, college, and community college categories.

Carleton won the best college category this past year, McMaster the university category.

Carleton’s “Librarian Trading Cards” (yes, real trading cards free for the taking at the reference desks) are pretty classically Carleton. This is the latest batch on display:
