Xavier University Names New Director of Library Resource Center
New Orleans LA - Dr. Lynette Ralph has been named the new Director of the University Library Resource Center at Xavier University of Louisiana, according to Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Loren Blanchard.
Ralph, who holds both a MS and a Ph.D. degree in Library and Information Science, has more than 30 years of experience as a librarian, including 25 as an administrator and manager in a university setting. Most recently she served as assistant university library director at the Sims Memorial Library at Southeastern Louisiana University.
She replaces Robert Skinner, who retired after more than 25 years in the position at Xavier.
"Xavier is very pleased that a librarian with Dr. Ralph's impressive credentials, years of experience, and wealth of expertise will join Xavier's faculty," said Blanchard. "As the role of the library continues to evolve on college campuses, we are confident that Dr. Ralph will bring leadership and vision that will enhance the library's current services to Xavier faculty, students, and staff, as well as to the local community."
