Emory University: Lisa Macklin to Serve as Interim Dean and University Librarian

Currently, Macklin serves Emory Libraries as associate dean of research, engagement and scholarly communications. She oversees collection management, research and engagement, instruction and engagement, assessment and user experience, and scholarly communications.

“Lisa’s willingness to undertake this position demonstrates great commitment to the libraries and to Emory University and is an example of leadership at the highest level,” says Bellamkonda.

Macklin will serve in this position while the search for the inaugural vice provost for libraries and museum is finalized and until the new appointment is in place.
