Administrative History

The Scholarship and Creative Works Committee (2010- ) is responsible for promoting creative work among library faculty at Brigham Young University.

The Committee reviews proposals for creative projects that will result in a product. The Committee makes recommendations to the University Librarian regarding the granting of funds. In this way, the Committee works to ensure that resources are awarded where they will return the greatest benefit to the Library and acts as a check to prevent misuse of funds or abuse of privileges.

The Scholarship and Creative Works Committee consists of five members. Three members are elected, one from each library division (Public Services, Special Collections, and Technical Services). Two members are appointed from the Library faculty at large by the Library Administrative Council. The Associate University Librarian is an ex-officio member of the Committee. The Committee selects one of its members to act as chair. Each member serves for two years. Appointments and elections are staggered to maintain continuity within the Committee.

The Harold B. Lee Library (1973- ) is the library on the campus of Brigham Young University, and is responsible for providing students and the community with valuable resources for research, media projects, and personal use.

The Harold B. Lee Library was aligned with Media Services under the Assistant Academic Vice President of Brigham Young University in 1973. In that same year, the J. Reuben Clark, Jr., Library was renamed the Harold B. Lee Library. Internally, the Harold B. Lee Library is managed by the library director, who is aided by an associate university librarian and assistant university librarians, who oversee divisions of the library. Donald K. Nelson continued as Library Director from 1973 to 1980; Sterling J. Albrecht served as director from 1980 to 2002; Randy J. Olsen served as director from 2002 to 2009, and Julene Butler became library director January 1, 2010. The library building was expanded in 1976 and 2000 and continues to provide students and faculty access to scholarly materials.
