Lisa Roberts

Dean of the Library 

A Typical Day at the Library   

The best part of my day is advocating on behalf of the library’s stakeholders, staff, collections, services, programs, and spaces. On a typical day, I collaborate with colleagues within the library, across campus, and more broadly within library consortia. I am responsible for setting our strategic direction, overseeing the library’s budget, aligning our collection with the evolving academic needs of the college, supporting the library staff and their continued development, and ensuring that the library is a welcoming, inclusive space.
