SLIS Names New Director

The University of Kentucky School of Library and Information Science has a new director; Jeffrey T. Huber will assume the position Aug. 15 of this year.

College of Communications and Information Studies Dean J. David Johnson commented: “Dr. Huber was the unanimous choice of a blue ribbon selection committee that recognized his roots in the tradition of library and information science and appreciation of the school’s contribution to librarianship in the Commonwealth, as well as his potential contributions to health informatics initiatives critical to University of Kentucky’s Top 20 mandate.” Read the full press release at http://news.uky.edu/news/display_article.php?artid=3246

I served as a member of the search committee and we are delighted with Jeff’s appointment. On a personal note, Jeff’s sister is also a librarian. Sheree Huber Williams is head of the library at Jefferson Community College and represents the KCTCS libraries on the SAALCK Directors’ Council.
