Beaubien brings a wealth of experience in library leadership and collection and budget management. She joins MCLS from her current role as Associate University Librarian (Academic) at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. In this role, she has been instrumental in steering the Archival & Special Collections, Digital Strategies & Technologies, and Learning & Curriculum Support teams. Beaubien has also been a key player in the library’s engagement with the university's academic mission and has coordinated the library's contributions to the Institutional Quality Assurance Process. Before this role, she was Associate Dean of Curriculum, Research, and User Services at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Beaubien’s extensive expertise encompasses management, budget oversight, collections, scholarly communication, instruction, user services, library facilities, and pandemic planning. Her return to Michigan marks a significant step for MCLS as it continues to advance its mission of facilitating resource sharing and collaborating with other organizations to benefit Indiana and Michigan libraries. "In previous positions in Michigan academic libraries, I benefited from engaging with MCLS trainings, workshops, collections licensing, and the Michigan Shared Print Initiative (MI SPI). I'm delighted to join the excellent team at MCLS and look forward to working with member libraries, the board, and vendor partners to offer collections and services to Indiana and Michigan libraries," Beaubien said. Executive Director Scott Garrison looks forward to welcoming Beaubien to MCLS’s team, noting that “Sarah’s years of experience, emphasis on building relationships across the library landscape, and ability to lead the eLCR team and join our dedicated management team will serve MCLS and our libraries very well in coming years. As we navigate the transition from Stephanie Davis to Sarah Beaubien in this role, I’m confident that we will be in a great position to continue forward. We wish Stephanie a long, happy, and healthy retirement, and I hope you’ll join us in welcoming Sarah to this very important role at MCLS.” *** Mary Ruthko (she/her) Marketing and Communication Coordinator Midwest Collaborative for Library Services 517-507-4149 ruthkom(a)mcls.org<mailto:ruthkom@mcls.org> [cid:550d5393-942c-45dc-964c-5141ca941601] mcls.org<https://www.mcls.org/> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> | X<https://twitter.com/mclsorg> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-collaborative-for-library-services> Schedule a meeting with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/82504839b07649009896aaa10a3d2395…>
