This new portfolio sees the Macquarie University Art Gallery and Archives and Records Management (previously known as Macquarie Memory) now reporting to the University Librarian.

“I’m excited to welcome these teams into the new, expanded portfolio,” said JoAnne. “An important benefit will be the aligning of the University’s archives and collections alongside the scholarly information functions that the Library currently undertakes. This was seen as a key positive outcome among staff and key stakeholders involved in the consultation process.”

The change will also see a coordination relationship established between the University Librarian and University collections located within the Faculties and other central portfolios (galleries, museum and other collections). Staff in those areas will continue to report to their current line managers.

Who’s involved?
