Karla Hahn is responsible for the development of ARL’s newest strategic direction, which focuses on new and expanding roles for ARL libraries. As the digital age continues to transform research, and teaching and learning at research institutions, ARL’s Research, Teaching, and Learning program engages with developments that advance new roles for the research library. Hahn joined ARL in 2005 when she assumed leadership of ARL’s Office of Scholarly Communication. She shifted her programmatic emphasis to transforming research library roles in April 2009.
Prior to joining the ARL staff, Hahn was the Collection Management Team Leader for the University of Maryland Libraries. She worked previously at the Welch Medical Library, Johns Hopkins University, and at the University of Michigan Libraries.
Hahn has a PhD from the University of Maryland College of Information Studies, an MLS from Syracuse University, an MS from the University of Chicago, and a BS from Wittenberg University. Her writings include the book, Electronic Ecology: A Case Study of Electronic Journals in Context and numerous articles on issues relating to digital communication and library services.
