University head librarian to step down

Marlin Heckman, ULV’s head librarian, announced he will be resigning his position at the end of the 2002-2003 academic year.

Heckman has been working for the university for thirty years. During his tenure, Heckman expanded the Wilson Library volume from 70,000 to 215,000.

A university librarian search committee is being formed with representation from the faculty, the deans and the administration.

The search committee will review the position of the university librarian, determine the experience needed to fill the position, and identify the strengths of leading candidates.

Heckman will begin his retirement by taking an interim sabbatical in the academic year 2004-2005 and will return as the university archivist.
