Ilana Stonebraker

I serve as Head, Sciences & Social Sciences. My position supervises the Business/SPEA Library (where I am the head librarian), Education Library, Sciences Library, and the Heath Sciences Research Center. Together, these librarians provide services for curriculum and research in areas reaching 70% of the students on campus. As part of this role, I supervise directly eight librarians, who then manage five full time-time staff and over 60 student workers. From a liaison perspective, I am the primary contact for the Kelley School of Business and the O’Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs.

I hold a Master of Science in Information, with a specialization in Library and Information Services, Preservation of Information, from the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Washington. I have authored twenty peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and served 2024-2025 as President of ALA RUSA (Reference and User Services Association), a division of the American Library Association with over 4,000 members.
