University of Arizona Begins Search for New Dean of University Libraries
From The Arizona Daily Wildcat:
Last week, a 20-person search committee for the position of dean of university libraries was chosen, according to Thomas Miller, search committee chair and associate provost.
The new dean will be picked and in place before current Dean Carla Stoffle steps down, which means there will be no interim dean.
Approximately 10-15 Skype interviews are expected to be conducted and the finalists will have a public forum by mid-April.
