Change in Reporting Structure for Digital Curator

Edward McCain, Digital Curator for Journalism, has completed the first year of a planned three-year pilot program undertaken by the MU Libraries and the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI). Over the past year, Edward has worked under a split reporting relationship, with both Mike Holland, Assistant Director of Libraries for SCARaB, and Randy Picht, Executive Director of the RJI, sharing supervisory responsibilities. On August 1, Edward will begin reporting to Jeannette Pierce, Associate Director of Libraries for RAIS, who will take over the shared supervisory duties with Randy Picht for the second year of the pilot. For the third year of the pilot, Anne Riley, Associate Director of Libraries for ACTS, will assume the shared supervision. We hope that this rotation across several divisions of the libraries will facilitate sharing of information surrounding the growing number of digital initiatives undertaken by the libraries and allied departments on campus.
