Everyone in attendance at this week’s
UK Board of Trustees meeting could sense the significance of the reports and
votes. Reports of new programs, a new
dining contract, new buildings, new endowments, and brief presentations on some
of the most significant research underway at UK filled the board room with
pride, excitement, and anticipation.
I am pleased to add that the
President’s Report to the Board referred to several UK Libraries initiatives
and the accomplishments of our faculty and staff. More than ever, UK Libraries is central to the
success of UK.
This week concluded with the
announcement that Rick Brewer will be the new Director of the Medical Center
Library. Significant changes are needed
in the delivery of information to the health sciences and in support of medical
research. I am confident that Rick and
the faculty and staff in the MCL will accept this challenge and build a health
sciences library that is essential to the success of UK six health sciences
colleges and UK Healthcare.
