    It is a great honor to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the US Senate to serve as the fourth director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). I know that my four year term at IMLS will be both demanding and exhilarating. We are all facing difficult questions about how best to use limited resources. Our country has a great asset in its libraries and museums. Their infrastructure reaches nearly every community in the US, with expert staff, great content, technology and physical spaces, and most importantly deep knowledge about community needs.
