Purdue University has announced the ap­
pointment of Joseph M. Dagnese as Director, 
Libraries and Audio Visual Center, effective 

January 10. He comes 
to Purdue from the 
Massachusetts Insti­
tute of Technology, 
where he has been As­
sistant Director of L i­
braries for Technical 
Services since 1966.

H is e d u c a t i o n a l
background includes 
a bachelor’s degree in 
English from Boston 
College, and a mas­

Jo se p h  M. D agn ese ter’s degree in English 
from Catholic Univer­

sity. Further work at Catholic University earned 
him the M .S.L.S. degree in 1952. On this 
foundation he has built a record which in­
cludes a wide range of professional activities 
and experience.

Mr. Dagnese joined the M IT  libraries in 
1960 as head of the acquisitions department. 
This was followed by the dual responsibility 
of science librarian and head of the circula­
tion department.

Other libraries have benefited from his pro­
fessional insights. During 1966 and 1967, Mr. 
Dagnese was library consultant to the Birla In ­
stitute of Technology and Science, Pilani, In­
dia, on a Ford Foundation-sponsored program. 
A six-week visit there in 1966 was followed by 
a one-year residence in 1967. He is presently 
an adviser to the program.

In 1970 Mr. Dagnese was consultant for the 
Ford Foundation at Delhi University Library. 
Mr. Dagnese has been active in the Special L i­
braries Association, both in the Boston Chap­
ter and nationally. Other memberships include 
the American Library Association and National 
Microfilm Association.

Royce Butler, a native Canadian, has re­
turned to Canada to become Director of L i­
braries and Professor of Bibliography at the 
University of Manitoba replacing Mr. David 
Wilder. Butler brings to Manitoba a wide range 
of experience gained in American and Canadi­
an libraries.

His background includes positions as head of 
technical services at the University of Denver, 
1962-1965, and associate director of libraries 
at York University in Toronto during 1965 and 
1966 where he played a major role in develop­
ing the preliminary program for their new 
central library which opened in the fall of

 

1971. Before accepting the directorship at 
Manitoba, Mr. Butler served as university li­
brarian and later Dean of the Library at Oak­
land University, Rochester, Michigan from 
1966 through 1971.

The five years spent at Oakland University 
added greatly to the experience that he had 
already gained. He again wrote a building pro­
gram for a main library and also helped to 
gain full faculty rank and status for his staff.

His contributions to the profession have been 
as varied as those he has made to his em­
ployers. He was founding editor of the C olorado 
A cad em ic L ibrary  in 1963, he has published 
in various library journals, and has been an 
active participant and leader in state as well as 
the American and Canadian library associa­
tions.

His credentials as a leader in academic li­
brarianship should stand him in good stead at 
the University of Manitoba.
