Mari Miller has announced her retirement from the UC Berkeley Library as of October 31, 2009 after more than three decades of service on the Berkeley campus. Mari joined the Moffit Library in the late 1980s as a librarian focused on reference, instruction, and collection development. Over the years she moved through a series of positions, developing different areas of expertise and emphasizing public service as well as collection development. Her final position was as selector and liaison to the Energy and Resources Group and the School of Information.

 

Beginning November 1 several library staff are enhancing their current assignments, inheriting responsibilities to which Mari had given much of her energy and enthusiasm. Char Booth will become the library liaison and selector for the School of Information; Lynn Jones will become the new library liaison to the Energy and Resources Program; and Jennifer Dorner will absorb the management of the general science funds within the scope of the Undergraduate Collections Librarian position, a position she is filling on a temporary basis. My thanks to Char, Lynn, and Jennifer for their interest in adopting these new responsibilities, and to Mari for her many years of service to the Library.
