Hi, I’m Lindsay Cronk. I’m the loudest librarian you’ll ever meet and your ally in the work of knowledge equity.
I’ve been an information professional for nearly two decades. I got my start in nonprofits, tried my hand in publishing, and eventually found niche: backing up big ideas in research and higher education with strategy, systems, and a little bit of swagger.
My approach to service and strategy is grounded in my passion for the liberal arts, fueled by curiosity, measured by impact, and grounded in the pursuit of knowledge equity. I believe libraries are engines of knowledge creation and democratization, with a vital leadership role in their communities.
Since August 1, 2023, I’ve had the honor of serving as Dean of Libraries at Tulane University. The views I express in this blog are just mine and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
Colleagues have called me a force of nature, a dynamo, and the real deal. I consider operationalizing vision my core library competency—bringing bold ideas to life through action. I excel in leading, building, and empowering talented teams to tackle complex challenges and deliver meaningful impact.
Thanks for visiting. Don’t hesitate to be in touch.
