Gold, MD, stressed the importance of Glenn\u2019s new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the opening of the Wigton Heritage Center in summer of 2021 and the continued growth of our nationally prominent rare book collections, the library\u2019s role at UNMC has become even more visible,\u201d Dr. Gold said. \u201cThrough her innovation and leadership, Emily has shown that she is not only a committed steward of UNMC\u2019s history but also the creative and visionary leader we need to take the McGoogan Library into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glenn said she was invigorated by the appointment, adding that as she went through the interview process, she was excited to speak to colleagues and learn about their interest in the library\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got to share some vision items and reflections, talk about what the next several years may look like \u2013 including new activities to support the educational and research missions of the university,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cI am excited to reach across the state, including to other UNMC campuses, to share more of our historical collections, offer student wellness initiatives and roll out an effort to help our students get a leg up on professional publications and research activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glenn, who joined UNMC in 2016, called the appointment \u201ca natural next step,\u201d enabling her to \u201cengage with the partners and grow the relationships I have developed over the past several years. It\u2019s a privilege to have a role in creating the vision of what\u2019s next for the library and the libraries of the University of Nebraska system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to being named interim dean, Glenn \u2013 who holds a master\u2019s degree in library science \u2013 served as the library&#8217;s associate dean, overseeing user services, collections, education and teaching, and technology. Glenn brings more than two decades of experience in corporate, academic and special libraries to her new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She previously held roles at the University of Washington, where she was the community health outreach coordinator with the Network of the National Library of Medicine for Region 5; chief librarian at St. Paul&#8217;s Hospital Millennium Medical College in Ethiopia; librarian at a university-affiliated biomedical research institute in Seattle and head of archives technical services at Duke University Medical Center Library and Archives in Durham, North
