| Congleton Named Chair of Moore Library
Robert Congleton, former associate professor-librarian at Rider University Libraries, has been appointed chair of Franklin F. Moore Library on the Lawrenceville campus. Congleton succeeds John Buschman, who served in the post from 1996 until this past summer when he was named Associate University Librarian for Collections Development, Preservation and Scholarly Communication at Georgetown University. In his new post, which he began on September 1, Congleton oversees the day-to-day operations and services of Moore Library; works with the Dean of University Libraries and the library faculty in the planning, implementation and evaluation of library policies, procedures and programs; and coordinates support staff supervision with the Support Staff Manager. “Bob’s willingness to go the extra mile, coupled with his knowledge and his enthusiasm for Rider, make him a wonderful fit for the position,” said William Chickering, dean of Rider University Libraries. While at Rider, Congleton has participated in the reference and instruction program and served as primary cataloger of serials, and as the archivist, he was a liaison between the library and University alumni. He has also coordinated the automation of serials processing and created a publically accessible online database for the University Archives. Since joining Rider in January 2001, he has served on several committees, including the Honorary Degrees Committee the Undergraduate Research Fellowship Committee and the University Academic Policy Committee. Prior to joining Rider, Congleton was Serials Acquisition Librarian and acting head of the Binding/Preservation Unit for Paley Library at Temple University. Upon receiving his B.A. in history from Rider, he went on to earn his M.A. in history from the University of Connecticut and an M.L.S. from Rutgers University. “I look forward to leading the library into the future
as we address the information needs of new programs such as the
School of Fine and Performing Arts, and the growing needs for
a more engaged and talented student body,” said Congleton.
