Biography for Karen Holloway

 

Karen Holloway is Science-Engineering Team Leader at the University of Arizona Library in Tucson; however, she has been Acting Team Leader of the library's financial and administrative services since July 2002.  Last summer she was selected to attend the Bryn Mawr Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration and this experience generated an interest in honing her skills in broader areas of management.  She moved from the Washington DC area about four years ago, after having worked as an information professional for an aerospace association, a government agency (NASA), and a publishing company. 

 

Prior to her Washington experience, she established an information center in an engineering firm in Atlanta. Tucson is home for the foreseeable future and the Sonoran desert is a wonderful place to live.  She has been an active member of SLA since 1978 and most recently a member of the Networking Committee, chair of the Endowment Funds Grants Committee, and president of the Arizona Chapter.
