UCR Library is pleased to announce that the Digital Initiatives Program Manager position was offered to Eric Milenkiewicz, and he has accepted.

His new title was effective on June 1, 2017.

 Eric joined the library in 2001. For the past 16 years, he has worked as the Manuscripts Curator in Special Collections and University Archives. Eric played a key role in the UCR Library's receipt of the CLIR Grant, which will fund a collaborative project to digitize the Sherman Indian Museum’s collection.

Eric’s key responsibility as the Digital Initiatives Program Manager, in the Digital Library Division, is to lead the library in both on-going and future development of a comprehensive program to generate, manage and preserve born-digital and digital surrogates, and to build value-added services on top of these digital assets.
