UBC Library’s Executive Team – consisting of the University Librarian, Deputy University Librarian, Associate University Librarians and Directors – is leading the organization forward as it transforms into a 21st-century research library. The Executive Team has responsibility in the areas of collection acquisitions, services and programs, community engagement, information technology and more. Each executive is responsible for managing their portfolio, supervision of their staff, and supporting the strategic direction of the Library.
The Executive Team is also grateful for the input of its advisory boards – which include the Senate Library Committee, the Library Advisory Board, the IKBLC Advisory Committee on Community Engagement and the Library Student Advisory Committee.
