New Managers for Digital Collections and Research
Susan Schreibman, head of Digital Collections and Research (DCR) has been offered a term appointment as Director of the Digital Humanities Observatory, a new program started by the Royal Irish Academy with a €28 million grant from the European Union. To accept this position, Dr. Schreibman has taken a ten month leave of absence from the University of Maryland Libraries.
Taking her place as managers of DCR are David Kennedy (Information Technology Division) and Jennie Levine (Archives and Manuscripts). Both bring their solid credentials and past experience with the University of Maryland Library system to their new roles. We would like to take a moment to welcome them to DCR.
