John A. Lehner, AD for Personnel and Planning, Given Responsibility for IT Support at the University of Houston Libraries
John A. Lehner, Assistant Dean for Personnel and Planning, has been given permanent responsibility for information technology support at the University of Houston Libraries.
Prior to their departures in mid- and late-2006, two Assistant Deans provided information technology support at the UH Libraries: Marc Truitt, former Assistant Dean for Systems (now the Director of Information Technology Resources and Services at the University of Alberta Libraries and Editor of Information Technology and Libraries) and Charles W. Bailey, Jr., former Assistant Dean for Digital Library Planning and Development (now publisher of Digital Scholarship).
Lehner had been in an acting capacity after those departures. Lehner will retain his personnel and planning responsibilities in his new position. His new title is Assistant Dean for Library Systems, Planning, and Personnel.
Lehner worked as a city planner prior to receiving his MLS in 1994. Before joining the UH Libraries in 1998, he was the Chair of Academic Program Support and Liaison Librarian at the Fletcher Library at the Arizona State University West Campus, which holds about 400,000 volumes.
