This week President Eli Capilouto and Interim Provost Tim Tracy
spent a morning in the William T. Young Library meeting with me, the Executive
Committee, and a representative group of UK librarians. We used the opportunity to discuss the many
exciting initiatives that are underway in UK Libraries. We appreciate the support of the President
and Provost as we seek to meet the information needs of students, faculty, and
researchers and as we take a leadership role in the transformation of the 21st
century academic research library.
I met this week with the UK Libraries staff and with the UK
Libraries faculty. Both groups play
essential roles in the success of UK Libraries.
A central these of my comments to both groups was “THANK YOU!” The meetings also provided the opportunity to
review the impact of recent budget reductions and to share thoughts and ideas
on the future of UK Libraries.
During the faculty meeting we also took time to congratulate our
colleagues who received promotion and tenure during the past year. Promoted to Librarian III were Peter
Hesseldenz, Jason Keinsley, Kathryn Lybarger, and Heath Martin. Doug Boyd was promoted to Librarian II and
granted tenure. Valerie Perry and Mary
Beth Thomson were promoted to Librarian I.
Congratulations!
