Barbara Floyd, director of the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections, has been named interim director of University Libraries.

Floyd, who also holds the positions of professor and university archivist, has served UT since 1986 and is responsible for the selection, preservation and reference of the historical records of the University. Floyd also leads the UT Press.

Marcia King-Blanford, vice provost for academic operations, had been serving as interim director of the libraries, and this change will allow her to focus on her curriculum management responsibilities, Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs John Barrett said.
