He serves as an expert consultant to UVA librarians, to groups and individuals within the University, and to national and international efforts focused on relevant questions. He provides guidance and expertise to the Library as it develops plans and strategies to address the challenges that it faces as a leading university research library. He also serves as an advocate for creative legal strategies to help the University Library advance the institution's mission "to record, preserve, and disseminate the results of intellectual discovery and creative endeavor."
