Diller appointed library director

Karen Diller has been named library director. She formerly served as associate library director and begins in her new role July 1. After conducting a national search, Karen emerged as the best candidate receiving strong support from the search committee, library staff and WSU Pullman Dean of Libraries, Jay Starratt. Karen completed her Ph.D. in library and information science at Emporia State University in 2014. Her dissertation was titled, “Restorative Library Study Spaces.”

Nicole Campbell, who served as interim library director for four years, will return to her former position as head of reference and electronic services.

Tom died June 10 from injuries sustained when he was hit by a car while jogging in his neighborhood. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in Tom's memory to the ALS Association of Oregon and Southwest Washington. Tom and his family participated annually in the "Walk to Defeat ALS" in memory of his father, and in honor of his wife, Dr. Kimberly Goslin, who cares for ALS patients.
