Abigail DiPaolo Selected for 2023 Association of Research Libraries Leadership Fellows Program

Abigail DiPaolo, executive director of Administration and Technology at Rutgers University Libraries (RUL), has been chosen as a fellow for the 2023 cohort of the Association of Research Libraries Leadership Fellows Program (LFP). Abigail is among 20 senior library leaders named to the program from across the United States and Canada. Selections were made based upon recommendations from the LFP Selection Working Group.

The LFP is a thirteen-month hybrid experience that provides the next generation of senior and executive leaders with exceptional opportunities for growth in research libraries and archives. Through a multifaceted curriculum, peer and individual mentoring, self-assessment, executive coaching, and site visits, the LFP builds upon each participant’s foundations and enhances skills to develop innovative and successful leaders of complex organizations. Participants also form a lifelong community of supportive colleagues that extends far beyond the program.

In the spirit of the program’s focus on collaborative learning and information sharing, we look forward to hearing about Ms. DiPaolo’s experiences and how to best apply what she learns to RUL.
