January 2025

With this January edition of Library Office Notes I’m pleased to welcome you back to campus to get ready for the start of spring semester. I hope you enjoyed some restorative downtime over the winter break. I very much look forward to seeing many of you (in-person or online) at our recognition event on January 7 – I’m always awed when I look through the service recognition certificates to see how many of you have dedicated long careers here at the University of Illinois Library. Whether you have been here 40 years or 4 months, we are the better for having you in our library community.

Wishing you all the best for a smooth re-entry for the spring semester.

Claire Stewart
The Juanita J. and Robert E. Simpson Dean of Libraries and University Librarian
