In creating the Teaching, Research, Outreach, and Learning Services structure, I tried to reflect the characteristics of Cornell's library system (from large units to smaller, from statutory to endowed, from the sciences to the humanities) as well as develop an administrative team that would foster communication, collaboration, interdisciplinary work, and innovation across all the units. I have discussed this structure with the Library Executive Group, it met with the approval of the Deans, and I was pleased that the library directors supported it as well.
