Dean Long
Elisabeth M. Long is Sheridan Dean of University Libraries, Archives, and Museums at Johns Hopkins University
Hopkins faculty and students are engaged in groundbreaking work, and for me, the best part of being a librarian is being able to interact with all the remarkable people who are part of an institution like Johns Hopkins.
Elisabeth M. Long
Elisabeth M. Long is the Sheridan Dean of University Libraries, Archives, and Museums at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries and University Museums.
Long provides strategic leadership for library services across the six Sheridan Libraries and chairs the University Library Directors Council (LDC), fostering collaboration and alignment of library operations across all Johns Hopkins schools. She also oversees the university’s two historic museums, Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library. Long maintains an active national leadership portfolio, serving on the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) Board of Directors, the HELIOS Open Advisory Council, and the APTrust Governing Board, and she contributed to the ARL/CNI AI Scenario Planning Task Force.
Before joining Johns Hopkins, Long spent more than two decades at the University of Chicago Library. She served as associate university librarian for information technology and digital scholarship, and from December 2021 to April 2022 was interim library director and university librarian. She began her career at Chicago in 1993 and was named an Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Leadership Fellow in 2018–19. She holds a BA from St. John’s College, an MLIS from the University of Maryland, and an MFA in book and paper arts from Columbia College Chicago.
On November 2, 2022, Johns Hopkins President Ronald J. Daniels and Provost Sunil Kumar named Elisabeth Long the next Sheridan Dean of University Libraries, Archives, and Museums of Johns Hopkins University. Long assumed the position on January 3, 2023.
Long succeeds Winston Tabb, who served as dean for 20 years and announced his retirement in December 2021 following a distinguished libraries career that spanned five decades.
In 2017 President Daniels and the Johns Hopkins board of trustees established the Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center to honor Tabb and his commitment to promoting scholarship by encouraging original research using the Sheridan Libraries’ rare books, manuscripts, and archives. The Tabb Center’s fellowships and programming create and promote contributions to the scholarly record.
