News @ UNB Libraries

Best wishes to Stephen Rosenfeld, Director of Library Systems, on the occasion of his retirement!

Steve has been a fixture at UNB for 40 years and it is almost impossible to think of Library Systems without Steve in the lead. He has recruited and retained an amazingly talented group within Library Systems, and they have created a systems architecture to support the library well into the future.

Most recently, Steve led us through the implementation of OCLC’s WorldShare, which puts the library LMS back on the leading edge, positioning UNB Libraries in a very favourable and stable position from which to move forward.

Steve’s last day in the Library will be Wednesday, April 30th, 2014, but there will be a party in June to celebrate his contributions to UNB. Notices and invitations will be sent closer to the date, but mark your calendar now and plan to join Steve’s retirement celebration on Thursday, June 12th in the Milham Room (HIL).
