Mandy Havert, head of Research Services and the graduate outreach and research services 
librarian for the Hesburgh Libraries at the University of Notre Dame, has died. Havert had 

been part of the Hesburgh Libraries family for 24 years. She started 
her career in public services in the Business Information Center (now 
the Mahaffey Business Library) and moved into positions in Infor-
mation Technology. In 2007, she was appointed as a library faculty 
member and served as the head of monographic acquisitions. Most 
recently, Havert’s professional focus was on connecting people to 
resources, how organizations work, and how they can be improved 
through leadership development. She had a tremendous impact as a 
member of the Teaching Research and User Services program, par-
ticularly through her innovative work with The Graduate School as 
the graduate outreach and research services librarian. Havert was an 
original member of the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship 

and served as the center’s liaison for graduate students. Havert was a member of, and served 
in leadership and committee roles for, many professional organizations, including ACRL, the 
Academic Libraries of Indiana, the Indiana Library Federation, and the American Educa-
tional Research Association. She is a published author in several academic library journals.
