Public Health Library & Informatics

I am pleased to announce that Nancy Allee will assume the position of deputy director for
the Health Sciences Libraries effective September 1. You already know Nancy and are
familiar with her many accomplishments in the Public Health Library and Informatics, her
distinguished service to the university and university library system, and her many
professional achievements, including her fellowship in the National Library of
Medicine/Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries leadership program.

As deputy director, Nancy will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of
the Health Sciences Libraries and will work closely with me on the planning and
assessment of programs and services as well as a variety of special initiatives. She will
work with the staff at all of the health sciences partner libraries to coordinate our
efforts leading to greater integration into the mission and activities of the health
sciences schools and the health system.

We will begin working on a transition plan for PHLI and the HSL without delay. Shortly,
we will begin a national search in collaboration with the School of Public Health for the
next director of the Public Health Library and Informatics.

Please joining me in congratulating Nancy on her new position.
