Gerald Beasley is an independent scholar. He was a librarian for over twenty years before becoming the university librarian at, successively, Concordia University, Montreal (2008-13), University of Alberta (2013-17), and Cornell University (2017-22). He has presented and published widely on a variety of topics including sustainable development and open access.
Academic libraries were originally created to support the research and teaching/learning needs of faculty and students. But they are also uniquely well-suited to help humanity achieve sustainable solutions to its economic, social, and environmental challenges.
