James MacKenzie

Dean of Libraries
UNB Fredericton

Following studies in music at Mount Allison and Western University, I completed an MLIS at Dalhousie University and started my career at UNB Libraries in 2003 as a member of the Reference Department. Since then, I've worked with University Archives & Special Collections, the Centre for Digital Scholarship and our Library Systems team in advancing digital scholarship at UNB, and preserving and sharing UNB's research output and unique digital collections with the world.

As Dean of Libraries, I'm dedicated to advancing digital scholarship, developing digital research and literacy skills, exploring new approaches to academic publishing, and building rich, sustainable research collections at UNB and across Canada.
