Lyman Resigns Post as University Librarian University Librarian Peter Lyman on Jan. 8 announced his decision to resign his position in order to become a full-time professor in the School of Information Management and Systems. Lyman took on the leadership of Berkeley's library in 1994, where he has served for three years. He looks forward to continuing his research on the future of scholarly communication and the social impact of digital technologies. I believe that the future of research libraries requires research to discover new options, and new models of institutional cooperation to implement them, and that my con- tribution to Berkeley's libraries may ultimately be more valuable as a scholar than as University Librarian. Lyman will continue in his current post until July 1.
