Smathers Libraries Reorganization Update

A revised organization chart reflecting the structure for the Smathers Libraries effective July 2008 has been posted on the blog site and at: http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/pio/Smathers_Libraries_Reorg061608.pdf.

As noted on the chart, until the Associate Dean for Technology & Support Services is hired, Bill Covey and Michele Crump will continue to serve as Interim Director, Support Services, and Interim Director, Technical Services, reporting to me. The new Access Support unit, headed by Lori Driscoll, will report to Bill Covey during this interim period.

A number of changes in responsibility and/or reporting for positions on this organization chart become effective June 27 or July 11, 2008:

  • Lori Driscoll, Head, Access Support
  • Rich Bennett, Chair, Special & Area Studies Collections, with Jim Cusick as Associate Chair
  • Shelley Arlen, Chair, Library West, with LeiLani Freund as Associate Chair
  • Tara Cataldo, Chair, Marston Science Library, with Vernon Kisling as Associate Chair
  • Patrick Reakes, Chair, Departmental Branches
  • Brian Keith, Director, Human & Financial Resources
  • Ben Walker, Head, SUS Shared Collection Facility, including ALF

Several open positions are noted on the organization chart. Searches are underway for the Associate Dean, Technology & Support Services, the grants manager and a human resources manager. The emerging technologies coordinator will be appointed after the Associate Dean is hired.

Tenure homes for faculty are unchanged pending the LFA recommendation for a new structure and its acceptance.
