I am delighted to announce the appointment of Kathleen Gallagher as the Interim Head of the Anthropology Library, beginning July 1, 2008. Suzanne Calpestri, who has been Head of the Anthropology Library for 14 years, is retiring at the end of June.

Kathleen's appointment in the Anthropology Library will be on a temporary .5 FTE basis, along with her current .5 FTE role as Project Leader for the Moffitt Library Renovation and Revitalization. While filling this interim assignment in the Anthropology Library, Kathleen will be on hiatus from her position as Undergraduate Services & Collections Librarian in Doe/Moffitt Instructional Services Department.

Kathleen Gallagher has been at the UC Berkeley Library for six years. She has collaborated with Suzanne Calpestri on projects in the past, and is looking forward to working with faculty and students in Anthropology and with the Anthropology Library staff in the coming months.

A national  recruitment for the position of Head, Anthropology Library will begin in the fall of 2008.
