The British Library, the national library of the UK, has announced that Chief Executive, Dame Lynne Brindley will step down from her position at the end of July 2012, after twelve successful years. The British Library Board has begun the process of recruiting a successor.
Under her leadership, the British Library has developed as a major cultural and scholarly institution. She has made the Library much more accessible to researchers, business users, and the public, and has led a major strategic development and modernisation programme to ensure that the Library is relevant, innovative and accessible in the digital age.
Lynne plans to add to her portfolio of interests, which include non-executive Board membership of Ofcom, the Court of the Goldsmiths' Company and several research and higher education bodies.
