"Professional excellence is an individual, rather than a corporate, characteristic. Although organizations can be described as "professional" or "excellent," their collective excellence results from the work of individuals who practice the highest principles of the profession. Learning, which is the key to acquiring and maintaining individual excellence, is ultimately the responsibility of the individual." Association of College & Research Libraries Professional Development Committee
