Congratulations to Tom Peters, a veteran academic librarian, consultant, and co-founder of LibraryCity—just appointed dean of university libraries at Missouri State University. He’ll start August 1.
Tom (yes, same first and last names as the management guru) is now assistant dean for technology initiatives at Milner Library at Illinois State University.
For understandable career reasons, Tom has had to focus on his duties within the academic world, but he is still hoping to be able to contribute to the LibraryCity site from time to time. The site reflects our shared philosophy. We are especially interested in access issues in every sense of the word—from truly universal and comprehensive library service to software and hardware usable by people with disabilities. Like me, Tom remains keen on separate but intertwined digital systems at the national level for public and academic libraries.
