Dr. Korey Jackson
was appointed the new Gray Family Chair for
Innovative Library Services at Oregon State University Libraries
and Press in December 2013. Established with a $2 million
endowment, the Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services
identifies innovative means for accessing and improving the delivery
of information to OSU students, faculty, and staff — with the goal of
moving OSU Libraries and Press to the forefront as an information
provider.
Dr. Jackson is the third holder of this prestigious position. His main
objective will be to establish a forward-thinking, strategic, and robust
digital publishing architecture for OSU Libraries and Press. Before
coming to OSU, Dr. Jackson was an American Council of Learned
Societies (ACLS) Public Fellow at
a digital humanities
publisher sponsored by the Council on Library and Information
Resources (CLIR) and the National Institute for Technology in Liberal
Education (NITLE). He also held a CLIR Postdoctoral Fellowship at
the University of Michigan’s Michigan Publishing, where he developed
campus-wide outreach efforts around open access publishing and
digital humanities training and discussion.
