Patricia Bosma and Dianne McCutcheon Appointed Section Heads in
Library's Technical Services Division
Two Former NLM Associates Have Had Distinguished
Careers
Library Operations announces the appointment of Patricia A. Bosma
as head of the Selection and Acquisition Section, Technical Services
Division, and Dianne E. McCutcheon as head of the Serial Records
Section, Technical Services Division. Both appointments were
effective June 20th.
Bosma had served as Assistant Head of S/A, the section
responsible for acquiring books and audiovisual materials for the
NLM's modern collection, since December 1980. After the retirement
of Brenda Swanson in 1997, she served as interim head until her
permanent appointment this June. In addition to administrative
duties, Bosma has had primary responsibility for fiscal control and
automation activities within the section. She also participated as a
member of the team responsible for implementation of the Voyager
integrated library system in the fall of 1998.
Bosma holds a BS in psychology and sociology from Towson State
College and an MLS degree in library and information science from
the University of Maryland. After working in private industry, she
completed the NLM Library Associate program in 1976-77. She then
spent three years as head of the Collection Maintenance Unit in the
Public Services Division. She is a member of the American Library
Association and ALA's Association for Library Collections and
Technical Services.
Like Patricia Bosma, Dianne McCutcheon is a veteran of almost 20
years at NLM and came to the Library to participate in the Library
Associate program in 1978-79. After her Associate year, McCutcheon
worked in S/A and in NLM's National Medical Audiovisual Center.
Leaving NLM for two years to serve as a hospital librarian in Ohio,
she returned in 1983 as a systems librarian in the Serial Records
Section. Appointed Assistant Section Head in 1990, she played an
active role in the evolution of SERHOLD, the National Biomedical
Holdings Database.
From 1997 to 1999, as a special assistant in the Office of the
Director for Library Operations, McCutcheon led the LO effort to
select and implement an integrated library system. She completed
this assignment with the recent successful implementation of the
Voyager ILS. As head of Serial Records, she succeeds William
Willmering, who retired at the end of March.
McCutcheon holds a BA in psychology from Cleveland State
University and an MS in library science from the University of
Illinois School of Library Science. She is active professionally
both in the Medical Library Association and the North American
Serials Interest Group.
