Diane Bruxvoort will serve as UNT's new dean of libraries beginning April 1. She replaces Cathy Hartman, interim dean of libraries and former associate dean of libraries, who stepped in for former dean Martin Halbert.

"UNT is thriving, the library has an international reputation, and I am honored to take on this new role," Bruxvoort says.

Most recently, Bruxvoort was the university librarian and director of libraries, special collections and museums at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Prior to that, she served as senior associate dean at the University of Florida.
