New York University (NYU) has named Kristina Rose interim dean of libraries, effective January 1, 2025. Austin Booth is stepping down December 31, 2024, after leading the libraries since July 2018.
Kristina Rose has served as associate dean for collections and content strategy for NYU Libraries since 2019. As associate dean, Kristina provides strategic leadership for collection development, access and media services, and resource sharing across NYU’s three degree-granting campuses. During her tenure, she led an expansion of the libraries’ digital-first collection strategy and delivery services, expanded access to scholarly materials, and consistently worked to make library services more accessible and easier to use.
Kristina’s research interests center on enabling evidence-based approaches to service delivery, optimizing the usability of resource-sharing systems, and delineating the role of access services within academic libraries. A winner of the American Library Association’s Emerging Leader Award and the NYU Division of Libraries Dean’s Award, she has been a member of the NYU community since 2004. She was an Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Leadership Fellow in the class of 2021–2022.
