Janet McCue will offer the conference address at the June 8, 2010 Annual Meeting of NYSHEI at Skidmore College. Ms. McCue is the Associate University Librarian for Teaching, Research, Outreach, and Learning Services at Cornell University and will reflect on her work to achieve the greatest extension of the libraries value.
Early in her career, McCue headed a technical services unit, hired the first Metadata Librarian at Cornell, and led the development of technical services workstations for staff. More recently, McCue was in charge of the Albert R. Mann Library and directed a variety of projects, including a major renovation and a fund development campaign. In her new role as AUL, she is responsible for all the campus libraries in the Cornell system.
McCue is on the Board of the Cornell-Sathguru Foundation and The History Center, and is a PI on several digital library projects. She is the recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Librarianship (1996) and more recently, the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service (2009) Like the 19th century librarian and naturalist, McCue believes that “librarianship offers a better field for mental gymnastics than any other profession.”
Registration for the event is still open, and free to all staff of NYSHEI member institutions.
