The British Library’s Chief Librarian, Caroline Brazier, has announced that she will be stepping down from her role next year, having decided to take early retirement. The exact date is still to be confirmed but it is likely to be in the early summer of 2018. “Caroline Brazier has made a truly exceptional contribution over her 15 years of service at the Library,” said Chief Executive Roly Keating. “Since 2011 Caroline has served with extraordinary distinction first as Director of Scholarship and Collections and more recently, with expanded responsibilities, as Chief Librarian. In that time, she has overseen the integration of culture, learning and business as core purposes alongside research services and custodianship of the collections, and has been one of the leaders of the post-2013 implementation of digital legal deposit regulations, which will stand as one of the great legacies of the current generation
