Primary Purpose of Position
The Library Business Officer (LBO) plays a key role in the financial, personnel, and operational leadership of the library. As a member of the Dean's leadership team, the Library Business Officer provides strategic oversight, guidance, communication, operational strategy, and decision-making in the areas of financial management and human resources.
