I am pleased to announce that Mark Darby is the new head of our Cataloging and Metadata Services Department, effective August 1, 2007. This concludes a national search to fill the position.

Mark joined Temple Libraries in 1994 as a special collections cataloger, and since 2001 has led the department’s database management unit. Previously, he was a cataloger and archivist at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study. He holds an M.S. degree in library science from Drexel University and an M.A. in Medieval Studies from Cornell University.

Larry P. Alford,
Vice Provost for Libraries and University Librarian
