Dear New Faculty,
Congratulations on your appointment and welcome to Tulane University! As Dean of Libraries, it is my great pleasure to greet you and extend a warm invitation to explore all that Tulane University Libraries has to offer.
At the Libraries, we aim to inspire both introspection and imagination—serving as Tulane’s Calm in the Hullabaloo. We’re here to support you at every stage of your scholarship, from inquiry to research to publication. As your partners in knowledge creation and management, you can consider us your resource and ally in you promotion process.
That’s because Tulane Libraries are far more than repositories—we are dynamic centers of scholarship, creativity, and connection. Home to both the largest and second-largest research collections in Louisiana, we offer a robust foundation for your teaching, research, and exploration.
Uptown, our Scholarly Engagement liaison team, including Media Services, provides specialized support and is eager to collaborate with you to advance your academic goals. Downtown, you’ll find librarians with health sciences expertise in areas including evidence synthesis at the Matas Library. The internationally renowned Latin American Library and Research Center offers unparalleled collections and expertise. Our Digital Initiatives team supports innovative research methods and digital projects, while Tulane’s Special Collections preserve and provide access to unique materials that inspire discovery across disciplines. We coordinate with the Newcomb Archive, Business, Law, and others to ensure you get the support you need and generations of scholars to come will too.
At Tulane University Libraries, we are all hands on DECC—Delight, Empowerment, Curiosity, and Connection—to support your scholarly aspirations and diversions. We understand that the path to new knowledge is rarely linear, and we’re here to help you navigate it.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re excited to collaborate with you.
Warm regards,
Lindsay Cronk
