A Note of Thanks
Like any planning endeavor in the University of Maryland Libraries, this report is a result of a team effort. The heavy lifting was done by the Library Executive Council, with considerable effort by the numerous staff. The data gathering and idea generation involved the broad spectrum of leadership including branch and team leaders. The result builds on and extends the strong consensus expressed by our Strategic Plan. It reflects a singleness of purpose about what we must do to fulfill the vital role of providing scholarly information to a tier one public research university. I am proud of the results of this team effort, particularly given the compressed time-frame within which we had to complete the work.
Charles B. Lowry, Dean
