Founded in 1970, the BLC is a community of academic and research libraries in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire that fosters interlibrary collaboration, innovation and sharing of resources. 

“I’m honored to be elected president of the BLC for a one-year term,” said Neame. “The BLC provides access for our faculty and students to the rich collections of research libraries across New England, as well as opportunities for UMass Amherst Libraries’ staff to participate in a diverse range of professional development programs.”
