Sarah Thomas

Sarah Thomas, vice President for the Harvard Library, has just been named to a second post: Larsen librarian for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In this additional role, reporting to Faculty of Arts and Sciences dean Michael D. Smith, she will oversee and coordinate the operations of all FAS libraries, including Widener, Lamont, Cabot Science Library, Houghton, Tozzer, and several other important collections. In a letter announcing Thomas’s new appointment, Smith wrote that “we will benefit significantly from Sarah’s simultaneous leadership of both organizations.” He added that although “individual FAS libraries will maintain their unique identities and qualities, the creation of an FAS library system will enable greater coordination and collaboration in meeting the needs of faculty and students.”

See this Harvard Magazine Q and A with Thomas for more on her initial role as vice president for the Harvard Library.
