Deaths

Carlton Rochell, former dean of the New 
York University (NYU) Libraries, has died. 
Not only did Rochell help create an innova-
tive library for NYU and the library system in 

Atlanta/Fulton County, Georgia, but also he 
integrated three other public libraries in the 
south. In addition, he founded the Research 
Library Association of South Manhattan with 
the New School, Parsons, and Cooper Union, 
and saved the New-York Historical Society 
Library during perilous times. As dean of the 
NYU Division of Libraries, Rochell launched 
the first mini-computer based online catalog 
in the country, incorporated the Courant Insti-
tute, Business and Real Estate Institute Librar-
ies, and NYU Archives, founded the Wagner 
Labor Archives, launched the Elmer H. Bobst 
Awards for Arts and Letters, brought the NYU 
Press under the management of the librar-
ies—among the first such models in the coun-
try—and integrated campus media and video 
production services, cable television for the 
residence halls, and NYU-TV. Nationally, Carl-
ton served as chairman of the board of the 
Research Libraries Group, board member of 
the Association of Research Libraries, and ALA 
Council member. Among his many leadership 
roles in the library profession, he served on 
the Steering Committee and led the New York 
delegation to the White House Conference on 
Libraries in 1979, was a member of the New 
York State Governor’s Commission on Librar-
ies, and chaired the New York Regents Advi-
sory Council on Libraries. He was the author 
of a number of articles and books, including  
Dreams Betrayed: Working in the Technologi-
cal Age, with sociologist Christina Spellman 
(Lexington Books, 1987).
