The Park School, a PK-12, independent day school located on 100 acres in Baltimore, announces the hiring of Christopher Case as its inaugural director of library services and instructional technology.  Mr. Case is an Information professional with 15 years of experience in an academic research library, with four years spent as the manager of the Technical Services Department, one of the largest and most diverse areas in the Sheridan Libraries.  This search came out of an extensive technology assessment and ran in parallel to an IT/IS director search at Park.  This role will oversee two co-curricular academic departments and be charged with augmenting Park’s student research program, which for Park is at the intersection of technology and information literacy.
