Biographical / Historical
The Library was established shortly after Washington State University was authorized to build a branch campus in Vancouver in 1989. For a time, library services were maintain at that Clark College Cannell Library as part of an agreement to share resources between campuses. Extended campus library services were also provided by WSU Libraries in Pullman. In 1991, WSU Vancouver hired its first director, Gretta Siegel, and aquired space for the library following a remodel of Bauer Hall on the Clark College Campus. Following a campus reorganization in 1995, Leslie Wykoff was hired as director for Vancouver Information Services (VIS), which included the Library, Information Technology (IT) and Washington Higher Education Telecommunications System (WHETS). The following summer WSU Vancouver moved to its new campus in Salmon Creek where the library established its services on the first floor of the Library Building. Vancouver Information Services reverted to separate departments in 2009. In 2011, Leslie Wykroff retired as the library's director.
