Provost James H. Garrett, Jr. has recently announced that Keith Webster has been reappointed as dean of the University Libraries.
In an email to faculty and staff in University Libraries, the provost said Webster will continue as both dean and director of Emerging and Integrative Media Initiatives, posts he has held since 2013 and 2015, respectively.
Garrett called him a forward-thinking and transformational dean.
"Under his leadership, Keith has made substantial progress in elevating key technical infrastructures by implementing a new library management system, and a cluster of digital science products to support research and collaboration,” Garrett said. “Keith has also ensured that the University Libraries add value to Carnegie Mellon through enhanced programming, while fostering a culture of engagement and support among the faculty."
