Nicole Nolan<\/a> as the University\u2019s second of two associate university librarians.<\/p>\nColgoni comes to Brock following an appointment as the services librarian at McMaster’s H.G. Thode Library of Science and Engineering, where he acted as branch head and led a team of library assistants.<\/p>\n
He said the six years he spent in the role, coupled with four years as a science fluencies librarian, led to a rich depth of experience in library administration, team management, instructional support, academic services, community outreach, student success and strategic planning.<\/p>\n
Colgoni has held executive positions with McMaster University\u2019s Academic Librarians\u2019 Association, Board of Governors and Senate, and has been involved with several university grant, award, personnel and library committees and working groups.<\/p>\n
He also served as an adjunct lecturer with McMaster University\u2019s School of Interdisciplinary Science.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited to welcome Andrew to the Library,\u201d said Brock University Librarian Mark Robertson. \u201cHe brings a very strong record of innovation and leadership. He has forged new roles for the library in teaching and learning and student success, which are areas of enormous strategic importance to us here at Brock. The advisory committee is confident he will play a key role in helping us move forward with our new strategic plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colgoni begins his tenure at Brock on Sept. 1 and said he’s looking forward to working with his new team members.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the reasons I was interested in joining Brock University Library was because of the people,\u201d he said. \u201cI knew I would be working with a team of smart, engaged and dedicated individuals who are committed to making the library the heart of the campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Timing was also an important factor in Colgoni\u2019s decision to come to Brock.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrock has some really exciting new developments, such as building a larger Makerspace as well as a new cutting-edge Digital Scholarship Lab as part of BrockLINC in the Rankin Family Pavilion,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to helping Brock University Library achieve its vision of advancing knowledge and inspiring discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robertson extends his thanks to associate university librarian advisory committee members Donna Grant, Laurie Morrison, Nicole Nolan, Deborah Rideout, David Sharron and Elizabeth Yates, and to Andrea Foster and Patricia Mosca from Human Resources for facilitating the search process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
