Material Girl: University of Houston Libraries Dean Dana C. Rooks Stars in Imitation Madonna Dance Routine on YouTube
Dana C. Rooks, Dean of the University of Houston Libraries, stars in a YouTube video in an imitation of a Madonna dance routine. In the video, Rooks is wheeled around on a book truck by a troupe of dancers as Madonna's song "Material Girl" is played. John A. Lehner, Associate Dean for Personnel, Planning, and Library Systems at the University of Houston Libraries, acts as the MC. The performance occurred at the 2009 Texas Library Association meeting.
Rooks has been on the staff of the University of Houston Libraries since 1979, serving as Dean since January 1997. For most of her prior career at the UH Libraries, she served as Assistant Director for Administration.
