John Wilkin leads one of the largest academic research libraries in North America. UIUC’s library faculty and academic professionals bring a strong research agenda to addressing a wide array of challenges. Current initiatives include the establishment of a substantial Research Data Service, efforts to shape new forms of scholarly communication (as part of the Mellon-funded Publishing Without Walls initiative), and leveraging UIUC’s substantial collection for digitization and shared print initiatives. Wilkin shaped early markup and online text access through a number of efforts, culminating with leading the Humanities Text Initiative. As director of the Digital Library Production Service, he led in the conversion of materials and online access for efforts such as the Making of America. He was the lead librarian in creating the first legal agreement for the Google Books project, and helped coordinate the associated library production processes.

As the Director of Library Initiatives for the Big Ten Academic Alliance, Maurice York is responsible for coordinating collective action at scale amongst the research libraries of the BTAA towards their commitment to realizing an interdependent, networked future. The central initiative in Maurice’s portfolio is the BIG Collection, a comprehensive strategy to strengthen an interdependent future for the 15 world-class research libraries of the BTAA by join the separate collections into one collection, shared and fully networked, across all physical and digital domains.
