Robert Shapiro
will assume new responsibilities at the Medical Center Library (MCL) beginning
May 2. In his new role as assistant director for the Research, Education and
Clinical Services Division, Robert will provide leadership for a team of
librarians in providing research, instruction and liaison activities to ensure
a high level of service to library patrons.
Robert joined the MCL in June of 2010 as the public health
librarian. Since that time, Robert has been actively engaged in the profession
at all levels and has volunteered and participated on a number of library
committees. He has numerous publications to his credit where he has
collaborated with colleagues on a variety of topics.
Robert is pursuing a Ph.D. in communication focused on
health communication and information science with a cognate in public health.
He will complete his coursework this semester and sit for his qualifying exams
this winter. It is Robert’s hope that his research will contribute to a better
understanding the impact health information has on the health and well-being of
individuals and their communities.
I appreciate Robert’s willingness to take on this new
assignment. I look forward to working with him and the entire MCL faculty and staff
as we continue to move forward.
