An NYU Librarian for More than 20 Years, Rose’s Appointment is Effective May 1
NYU President Linda G. Mills and Provost Georgina Dopico announced that Kristina Rose—who has been serving since January as interim dean—has been named NYU’s dean of libraries, effective May 1.
President Mills said, “We are very pleased to name Kristina Rose to this position. Over the course of her long service, Kristina has taken on responsibilities for a wide range of services to support our students’ and faculty’s access to collections for teaching, learning, and research. She has been instrumental in helping NYU’s libraries stay apace of changes in pedagogy, research, and student needs. She brings a wealth of experience to this post, and great familiarity with the workings of NYU’s libraries. In moments of enormous challenge—such as the pandemic—this has enabled her to play a vital role and provide a steadying hand in ensuring that the library supported carrying on the University’s educational and research missions. We have no doubt that she will do an excellent job.
“We are grateful to the search committee—and especially its co-chairs—for all their hard work and excellent judgment,” Mills continued.
Rose has been serving as NYU’s interim dean of libraries since January. She was appointed associate dean for collections and content strategy in 2019. She was made interim head of Access, Delivery, and Resource Sharing Services in 2011, and named permanent head in 2013. She first joined the NYU libraries in 2004 as an access services librarian. Prior to coming to NYU, she was the supervisor of the Butler Reserves and Milstein College Library at Columbia University.
She has served on many committees in service to the library profession, including for the American Library Association, the Pennsylvania Academic Libraries Consortium, the Center for Research Libraries, and the Access Ivy Plus Symposium Planning Committee. She has published scholarly articles and made multiple presentations in the field, and she is the recipient of the American Library Association Emerging Leader Award (2007) and the NYU Division of Libraries Dean’s Award (2014).
Rose received a BA from the University of Colorado, an MLIS from Long Island University, and an MA from NYU.
