The Library Board
The Library Board is the board of the University Library and has a general responsibility for the collective library services at Lund University - the University Library, faculty libraries and independent centre libraries.
The Library Board consists of Pro Vice-Chancellor Bo-Anders Jönsson, chairman, the LIbrary Director, four faculty members, two external members and two students. The members are appointed for three years except the student representatives, who are appointed for one year.
The present term of office is 1 September 2019 to 31 January 2021, an exception from the rule that the term of office should be 3 years. This is the case since the Library Board's term of office follows the joint university boards' terms of office which expires on 31 January 2021.
