NIU Libraries Dean Fred Barnhart, a champion of student success who played a key role in helping the university weather pandemic-related challenges, has accepted a second four-year appointment.
“I’m excited to continue our work as we demonstrate that University Libraries is much more than books on the shelf or databases on a website,” Barnhart said. “At its heart are dedicated staff and faculty with specialized training and degrees who acquire, curate and disseminate information and services on a daily basis throughout the year to support our institutional mission.”
Committed to student success, NIU Libraries went to extraordinary lengths during the most challenging periods of the pandemic to continue its many services for the Huskie community while offering additional technology supports to students.
