[Kim Smilay]

Craig Van Dyck Takes the Helm

 

30 November 2015

 

CLOCKSS - the long-term preservation service for scholarly communications -
has named Craig Van Dyck as its new Executive Director, effective
immediately.

 

Van Dyck has worked in scholarly publishing for 37 years, most recently at
John Wiley and prior to that at Springer-Verlag New York. He has
participated in many industry standards initiatives including the Boards of
Directors of CLOCKSS, ORCID, CrossRef, the Society for Scholarly Publishing,
and the International DOI Foundation, and on the Portico Advisory Committee
and the CHORUS Technical Working Group. 

 

During his career, Craig has focused strongly on the library-publisher
interface, for example chairing Wiley's Library Advisory Board, and engaging
with librarians at conferences such as the Coalition for Networked
Information, Charleston, and the American Library Association.  This focus
on partnerships between libraries and publishers is absolutely core for
CLOCKSS, and an aspect of Craig's work that shone through for the selection
panel of librarians and publishers.

 

Michael A.  Keller, University Librarian at Stanford and co-chair of the
CLOCKSS Board said, "Craig has been a key participant in the development of
CLOCKSS since its beginning, as a Board member and as a valued advisor to
the CLOCKSS team. We look forward to Craig leading CLOCKSS through its next
phases of development." Craig Van Dyck added, "It is an honor and privilege
to work with the unique community that CLOCKSS has built among libraries and
publishers, to ensure the long-term access of end-users to the scholarly
literature."
