Lorraine Haricombe became Dean of Libraries at the University of Kansas, a division of Information Services, in August 2006. On July 1, 2007 she launched a new program, Scholar Services, to build stronger partnerships between librarians, IT professionals and researchers with a focus on digital scholarship. She believes that librarians and technology professionals have unique insights and expertise that will facilitate the production, packaging and dissemination of data and digital content. The Scholar Services program will help researchers and faculty streamline these efforts.
Lorraine obtained her Ph.D in Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she also earned her master's degree in Library and Information Science.
