Barbara McDonald, Brock’s Interim University Librarian, will be leaving the University this summer to accept a position at the University of Guelph.

On Aug. 1 she will become Associate Chief Librarian, Discovery & Access and Information Resources at Guelph’s McLaughlin Library.

McDonald has been Brock’s Interim University Librarian since July 2014. She had previously served as Associate University Librarian for Collections and Liaison since coming to Brock in 2010.

Neil McCartney, Brock’s Provost and Vice-President Academic, said a plan for an interim replacement will be announced shortly.

“We are very sorry to be saying farewell to Barbara, and we wish her all the best as she joins the University of Guelph,” said McCartney. “Barbara has been a wonderful leader in our library since she arrived in 2010 and she will be sorely missed.”
