By Barbara I. Dewey, dean, University Libraries and Scholarly Communications

Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a nice break. I bring greetings from about 50 alumni who attended the Naples, FL Penn State Alumni Meeting. I was their guest speaker and had the opportunity to let them know about the great things that are happening at Penn State Libraries at University Park and across the Commonwealth. They were excited.

We were successful in securing Joe Salem and Anne Langley for the associate dean positions. They both look forward to joining us. Dace Freivalds and her committee are back to work on the search for the Associate Dean for Technology and Digital Strategies. Hearty thanks to them for their hard work. Please let Dace know of potential candidates.
