For all academic matters, the Dean of University Libraries reports to the Provost, and works closely with the Senior Vice President of the
Health Sciences Center. The Dean of Libraries is responsible for: providing a strategic vision and leading the planning and advancement
of the SBU Libraries; leading innovation in the Libraries’ collection and technologies; ensuring sound management; representing the SBU
Libraries locally and nationally; and leading philanthropic efforts. As the University increases both intra- and extra-campus research

collection models to adapt to the shift in information formats and access technologies. The incumbent is required to partner with others
across the campus community to create a new type of 21st century information center in support of research and education. Furthermore,
the Dean of Libraries will help establish collaborative relationships with other campus entities to address future data retention and

Dean of University Libraries

Stony Brook Libraries are known for a wide-range of print and digital resources and world-renowned special collections. The Stony Brook Libraries belong to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), with a Health Sciences Center Library that is a member of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries. The Libraries’ collections exceed 2 million volumes, including e-books, print and electronic holdings of scholarly journal subscriptions, microforms, music recordings, and a sizable map collection. The SBU Libraries include four distinct
facilities, including Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry, Math/Physics, and Health Sciences Libraries. The University’s Libraries stand as the largest academic research library on Long Island, serving as a resource in the local community, state-wide, and nationally through the National Network of the National Libraries of Medicine.

For all academic matters, the Dean of University Libraries reports to the Provost, and works closely with the Senior Vice President of the
Health Sciences Center. The Dean of Libraries is responsible for: providing a strategic vision and leading the planning and advancement
of the SBU Libraries; leading innovation in the Libraries’ collection and technologies; ensuring sound management; representing the SBU
Libraries locally and nationally; and leading philanthropic efforts. As the University increases both intra- and extra-campus research
activities in a multitude of disciplines, the incumbent will be expected to lead the libraries in the development of new service and
collection models to adapt to the shift in information formats and access technologies. The incumbent is required to partner with others
across the campus community to create a new type of 21st century information center in support of research and education. Furthermore,
