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. (from Janet McCue, in an email dated June 4, 2009, titled "Organizational structure for Teaching, Research, Outreach & Learning Services")represents the public face of the Library and all unit libraries will report to Janet McCue, Associate University Librarian. In each unit library, the facilities, collections, and services are expertly managed and customized for specific disciplines and subject areas. Together, the libraries offer the Cornell community and beyond a full array of scholarly information resources and services, and bringing them together under one umbrella will promote interdisciplinary work and ensure users a consistently high level of service across the system. |
