PROFILES

Richard W. Boss, former associate director of libraries at the University of Utah, has replaced Mr. William H. Jesse as Director of Libraries at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Mr. Jesse died suddenly on July 1, 1970.

Mr. Boss had extensive experience in longrange planning at the University of Utah, which should stand him in good stead at Tennessee. At the University of Utah he participated in the planning and construction of a new library and established the technical services division as a separate organizational entity. One of the features of this building is the dial-access information retrieval system. In Utah he actively worked with professional associations, serving on the ACRL Committee on Library Surveys in 1967 and the Statistic Coordinating Committee in 1969, among others. He also served as President of the Bibliographic Center for Research at Denver in 1970.

He holds a B.A. in political science from the University of Utah and an M.A. in library science from the University of Washington, where he is a doctoral candidate; he also held a Council on Library Resources Fellowship for 1970.

In his own words, he finds himself at an institution with a “strong library orientation” on the part of faculty and administration and a staff that is “outstanding in its commitment.”

Mrs. Rossell

On September 1, 1970, Mrs. Glenora Edwards Rossell became director of the Hillman Library system at the University of Pittsburgh, replacing Dr. C. Walter Stone. Mrs. Rossell’s background is exceptionally well balanced for the diverse administrative problems offered by her new position. She has previously served as the assistant director, technical services and administrative planning; assistant director, humanities and social sciences; and acting director from January to June of 1970. It was during her appointment as acting director that the university senate approved faculty status for librarians.

Mrs. Rossell has an M.L.S. from Columbia and has done further graduate work at Pittsburgh. She has also taught library science courses at both Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of Technology Schools of Library Science.
