Before working at Purdue, McNeil held various leadership positions at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Bradley University in Peoria, Ill.

Associate Dean of Libraries at Baylor University, Jeff Steely, will be available at an open forum March 4.

Marilyn Moody, currently the dean of the University Library at Portland State University, will be available at an open forum March 9.
