Overview
As Associate University Librarian for Information Technology Services, I provide vision and leadership for information technology strategy, operations and innovation for the Duke University Libraries (DUL). I guide and oversee all of the library information systems ranging from infrastructure and network, to applications, user services and business process automation by leading the division that includes four departments: Digital Projects and Production, Discovery and Core Services, Digital Repository Services and Data/GIS. I serve as the DUL’s chief liaison with the University’s Office of Information Technology and with other technology units on campus and in the area. As a member of the DUL Executive Group, I participate in the development of a shared vision for DUL’s future that supports the mission of the University and responds to the changing information needs of the Duke community; participates in system-wide planning, policy development, resource allocation, and personnel management; and participates in DUL fundraising efforts and stewardship activities.
