Kevin Garewal
Candidates for the position of dean of University Libraries will be on campus May 17 and 20 to meet with faculty, staff and administrators and to give public presentations answering the question: "How do you see University Libraries adding value to the broader mission of the University of Arkansas and higher education over the next three to five years?"
Kevin Garewal, associate director of collections at Harvard Law School Library, will be the second candidate to present at 2:30 p.m., Monday, May 17, in the School of Law's E.J. Ball Courtroom.
