Michael A. Keller

Michael Alan Keller (born April 5, 1945) is an American academician and librarian. He holds an appointment at Stanford University as the Ida M. Green University Librarian (1994 to the present) and, until August 31, 2020, Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning (2018-2020).

Keller received the Kenneth M. Cuthbertson Award for Exceptional Service to Stanford University (2015). The award commended him "for pioneering new paths as the director of Academic Information Resources, while continuing to develop the libraries' superb collections," and "for his clear commitment to scholarly publishing, exemplified in his founding of HighWire Press and ongoing support of Stanford University Press."

Keller was appointed Senior Presidential Fellow of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) (2007) and serves on the CLIR Board. He is an elected lifetime Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2009), “for extensive and innovative contributions to the dissemination, preservation and advancement of scientific and other scholarly literature through electronic and other means,” and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2010), which said that Keller “champions emerging information technologies while nurturing traditional library collections” and that his “impact extends beyond Stanford through many visionary lectures on how to organize research libraries for the digital era.” Provided by Wikipedia
