Dr. Barbara Moran, the inaugural Louis Round Wilson Distinguished Professor, joined the faculty at the UNC School of Information and Library Science (SILS) in 1981 and served as dean of the School from 1990 to 1998. She has written more than 85 journal articles and book chapters, written or edited four monographs, and co-authored Library and Information Center Management, a textbook used by library science programs worldwide that will be published in its ninth edition later this year.

During her tenure as dean at SILS, she enhanced technical resources, added an undergraduate minor program, and increased graduate enrollment by 32 percent. She hired the school’s first development director, established the fi rst board of visitors, and doubled the school’s endowment. She increased the international involvement of SILS and began the very successful London and Prague Summer Seminars.

Since 1999, Dr. Moran has been an active member of the SILS faculty continuing her teaching and research. She has taught primarily in the areas of management and academic librarianship and her research has focused on various aspects of management including leadership, organizational structures, and career progression patterns.
