Don L. Bosseau was appointed director of 
libraries at Emory University on January 1, 
1974, upon the retirement of Guy Lyle. Mr.

Bosseau comes to Em­
ory after two years as 
director of the Uni­
versity of Texas at El 
Paso libraries. Prior to 
that he spent six years 
at the University of 
California, San Diego, 
first as head of the 
systems development 
department and later 
as assistant university 
librarian.

Throughout his ca­
Don L. Bosseau reer Mr. Bosseau has 

been interested ( and
expert) in the field of library systems. He is 
currently editor of JOLA Technical Communi­
cations and president-elect of the Library Auto­
mation Research and Consulting Association. 
While at San Diego he designed an improved 
serials processing system and a subject authori­
ty system. Another interest is the development 
of greater staff participation in decision making, 
which he worked on while at El Paso.

Mr. Bosseau has an MS in Nuclear Engineer­
ing as well as a Master’s in Library Science. He 
has written numerous articles, reports, and pa­
pers about automated serials systems, and is a 
member of several ALA committees.

Mr. Bosseau’s comments about his new job 
follow: “With the new research library at Em­
ory, one problem requiring attention is working 
toward the goal of turning the old library build­
ing into a modern undergraduate library and 
media resources center (this will involve fund 
raising). Also to hedge against erosion of the 
book budget caused by inflation, I would like 
to establish a substantial endowment for book 
funds at Emory. As a private institution, I think 
this is the best method of protecting the book 
budget. With a background in library systems 
development and automation, I am very inter­
ested in the SOLINET operation and the direc­
tions it will take.”

Chancellor Dean E. McHenry recently an­
nounced the appointment of D avid W. Heron
as university librarian at the University of Cali­
fornia, Santa Cruz. The appointment becomes 

 

effective July 1, 1974.

Heron succeeds Donald T. Clark, UCSC’s 
founding librarian, who retired last June.

Wendell W. Simons will continue to serve as 
acting university librarian at UCSC until 
Heron’s arrival.

Currently director of libraries at the Univer­
sity of Kansas, Heron, S3, is a graduate of Po­
mona College (1942), where he majored in 
English. He also holds a Bachelor of Library 
Science degree from UC Berkeley (1948) and 
an M.A. degree in political science from UCLA 
(1951).

He began his career as a reference librarian 
at UCLA in 1948 and held that position until 
1952, when he became librarian of the Ameri­
can Embassy in Tokyo. He returned to UCLA 
in 1953 as staff assistant to the librarian. Two 
years later he joined the Stanford University li­
brary staff and later was named director of li­
braries at the University of Nevada. He held 
that post until 1968, when he undertook his 
present position at the University of Kansas.
