JoAnne Deeken has accepted the position of Head, Technical Services and Digital Access at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, effective December 1, 2001.

JoAnne joined the IU Libraries in early 1999 as the first Head of Acquisitions and Assistant Director of Technical Services for the newly formed Technical Services Department. During the short time that JoAnne has been here, she has taken a leadership role in many areas, most significantly in the reorganization and formation of the unit and the migration from Notis to Unicorn. She has initiated substantial improvements in the Acquisitions Division's workflow and procedures and has conscientiously worked with staff in her unit and throughout the Libraries to increase efficiencies, understanding and cooperation, and the overall level of service.

JoAnne's last working day at IU has not yet been determined, nor has her temporary replacement been decided. These announcements will follow, along with a nationally advertised search.

While JoAnne's expertise and many contributions to the IU Libraries will be missed, I know that you join me in thanking her for her excellent work and wishing her well in this new position at the University of Tennessee.
