As chief librarian, Carolyn Reid will continue to broaden access to electronic resources.
Carolyn Reid has been appointed to the Frances and John L. Loeb Librarianship of Medicine and director of the Medical College's Samuel J. Wood Library and C.V. Starr Biomedical Information Center.
The Loeb Librarianship was established by the Medical College in 1984 with a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Loeb, who were generous and longtime supporters of both Cornell University Medical College and The New York Hospital. Frances Loeb, who died in 1996, was a trustee of Cornell University and served as a trustee member of the Medical College's Board of Overseers from 1983 to 1988, when she became a life overseer. John Loeb, who died in 1996, served as a member of The New York Hospital's Board of Governors from 1959 to 1972, when he became a life governor.
Carolyn Reid joined the Medical College in 1987 as associate director of the Medical Library, and had been serving as acting director since 2001. She previously served as associate and interim director of the University of Nebraska's Midcontinental and Regional Medical Library Program. She received the Medical Library Association's "Estelle Broadman Award for Academic Medical Librarian of the Year" in 1992 and the MLA's "Research Development and Project Award" in 1986. Ms. Reid has undergraduate and graduate degrees in library science from the University of Missouri.
