Beth Williams has been appointed director of Stanford Law School’s Robert Crown Law Library. She takes up her position on August 19, becoming the fourth individual to hold it. She comes to Stanford from Louisiana State University Law Center, where she was director of the law library and information services from 2011 to 2015.

“I am thrilled about the prospect of fostering and contributing to the mission of excellence and innovation at Stanford Law School,” she said. “I look forward to continuing the tradition of outstanding service to faculty and students the library is known for in new and creative ways, and to engaging and nurturing the aspirations of a superlative team of librarians and staff.”

“We are very fortunate to have Beth join us. She is a rising star nationally in the world of library directors. She has the right combination of experience and talent to continue the best traditions of our library and take advantage of the opportunities ahead,” said M. Elizabeth Magill, dean and Richard E. Lang Professor of Law at Stanford Law School.

Williams writes about law librarianship and legal research and is an active member of the American Association of Law Libraries. Prior to her position at Louisiana State University Law Center, she worked at Columbia Law School for six years, where she served as head of public services and taught legal research. She also held an appointment as lecturer at Columbia University, teaching graduate courses in information and digital archive management. Before she became a law librarian, she practiced public interest law in Maine. She still maintains an active membership in the Maine State Bar Association.

Williams received her JD from Syracuse University College of Law in 2002 and a Master of Library and Information Science degree with Certificate in Law Librarianship from the University of Washington Information School in 2005. She received a Master of Arts degree in philosophy from Marquette University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in humanities from the University of West Florida.
