Roy Tennant joins OCLC Programs and Research

 •  Categories: OCLC

News is spreading that Roy will be joining RLG Programs in Mid-May. We are delighted and Programs and Research colleagues look forward to working with Roy on many interesting things!

Roy talks about his move on his website:

Any way you look at it, these are amazing times for libraries. In our time we have witnessed a revolution in information access not seen since the invention of the printing press. Thanks to the Internet, the answer to many questions that pop into your head are but a mouse click away. With massive digitization projects now in full swing, books long sequestered in dusty stacks are becoming much more discoverable and reaching much larger audiences. As librarians, we are being called upon to reinvent what it is we do and how we add value to this drastically reformulated equation. [Roy Tennant]
