Name change coming for library and learning services
Posted by Kimber Crull
On Monday, July 1, library and learning services will change its name to University Libraries. This change marks the first renaming since 1980, when the current name was adopted during a university reorganization. Additionally, Dr. Bella Gerlich’s title will be updated from dean of libraries to vice provost and dean of libraries.
“The new name aligns with S&T’s North Star goal,” says Gerlich. “It reflects the standard nomenclature used by most academic research libraries, particularly those at R1-classified universities.”
University Libraries include the campus library facility, named Curtis Laws Wilson Library, the S&T Archives, which has a unique collection significant to the history of the university, Scholars’ Mine, an online collection of scholarly and creative works produced by the faculty, staff, and students of S&T, and the Writing and Communication Center.
