So very delighted to be joining our friends and colleagues at the The University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Reno.

I had the pleasure today of joining The University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Reno Dean Catherine Cardwell to welcome the Greater Western Library Alliance to our campus! Our libraries remind us of our greater purpose - that we must embrace intellectual inquiry and innovation, nurture the production of new knowledge, and foster excellence in education.

Thank you to the GWLA and our own University of Nevada, Reno librarians for all the work that you do to ensure students and faculty have access to information that is vital to their research and personal and professional growth.
