A reference services librarian and professor of library science at Dayton Memorial Library at Regis University in Denver will be dean of the UCCS\u00a0Kraemer Family Library.<\/p>\n

Martin Garnar was selected following a national search. His appointment was announced by Mary Coussons-Read, executive vice chancellor, Academic Affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartin brings a breadth and depth of experience to UCCS which will undoubtedly take the Kraemer Family Library to the next level,\u201d Coussons-Read said. \u201cHis energy, innovative spirit, and collegiality are already evident and I know the campus and community will very much enjoy getting to know him in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 1999, Garnar has been a faculty member at Regis University, a private, co-educational\u00a0Roman Catholic,\u00a0Jesuit University. He earned a master\u2019s degree in library and information services from the University of Denver, and a master\u2019s in modern European history and a bachelor\u2019s in history and geography from the State University of New York at Binghamton. His research and writing address\u00a0ethics, intellectual freedom, and personal privacy in the digital age.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m thrilled to be joining UCCS at this exciting time in its growth,\u201d Garnar said. \u201cThe Kraemer Family Library has an excellent reputation in the Colorado library community, and I look forward to working with everyone as we continue to build on our successes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garnar will replace Teri Switzer, dean, Kraemer Family Library. Switzer plans to retire in August following a 42-year career in academic libraries and seven years as dean at UCCS.<\/p>\n

A ten-member search committee of faculty, staff and community members reviewed applications and made recommendations to Coussons-Read and Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak. Garnar visited UCCS May 20.<\/p>\n
