Finalist presentations for University Librarian
Please join the search committee for presentations from finalists for the position
of University Librarian throughout the month of February. Faculty, staff and students
are invited.
Please note that it is critical to maintain the confidentiality of the candidates
in this search. Once you know the finalists' identities, do not reach out to colleagues
or acquaintances to inquire or share information about them. If you know of anyone
whose opinion will contribute substantially to this effort, feel free to forward that
name directly to Kait Dorsky.

About the search
The University Librarian search, which started last spring, was retooled and relaunched
this past fall with a national reach and an expanded search committee. The goal was to conduct the search with the inclusion of as many viewpoints as possible
because of the Library’s intersections in all corners of our campus as well as into
the community.
The search committee hopes to have a new University Librarian in place by July 1 at
the latest.
The University Librarian Search Committee is co-chaired by School of Filmmaking Chair
of Producing Darren Miller and University Archivist Kait Dorsky. Committee members
are Andrew Britt, history and digital humanities faculty, Division of Liberal Arts;
Melissa Carroll, Library business specialist; Laurel Donley, vice provost of Student
Affairs; Carl Forsman, acting and directing faculty, School of Drama; and Alexa Torchynowycz,
metadata librarian.
We appreciate your participation in this important process, and we look forward to
seeing you at the presentations!
