The Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) has appointed Jeannette Frey, Director of the Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire (BCU) Lausanne, as its 12th President. She will succeed Kristiina Hormia-Poutanen of the National Library of Finland, who served as LIBER President from 2014-2018 and was the first female President in LIBER's history.
The appointment of a new LIBER President was one of three changes to LIBER's Executive Board during the 2018 Meeting of Participants. In her opening address to the audience at LIBER 2018, Frey said she would continue to focus on the implementation of Open Science, and to help libraries address the challenges associated with new technologies such as artificial intelligence.
LIBER libraries also appointed Julien Roche, Director of Libraries at the University of Lille, as Vice-President and Lars Burman of Uppsala University Library as a member of the Executive Board.
