As some of you may have heard by bits and pieces, Janet Cottrell, has accepted an offer to become Director of Information Access at Kenyon College, in Ohio. At Kenyon, Information Access is a department of the Library and Information Services division, a combined library and computing services organization. Information Access provides inter-library loan, circulation (including course reserves and stacks maintenance), audio-visual services, computing labs and classrooms, classroom technology, the computer helpline, and support of student computing in the residence halls. The Director has a special responsibility to serve as an advocate for students as users of library and information services, and manages the library as a facility. The department has eleven full-time and two part-time staff members, and a large number of student employees. The Director reports to the Vice President for Library and Information Services and serves with the Vice President and four other directors as part of the management and leadership team for the division. This is, as I'm sure we all agree, a fantastic career opportunity for Janet, and we wish her greatest success. During the month of September, she will be managing the transition between UVM and Kenyon, with her "official" last day being September 30th.
