Deanna Bowling Marcum (August 5, 1946 – August 16, 2022)[1] was an American librarian who served as Associate Librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress from 2003 to 2011 and as managing director of Ithaka S+R from 2012 to 2016.

Education and awards[edit]

Marcum received her bachelor's degree in English from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1967 and went on to receive a master's degree in English from the Southern Illinois University in 1969. She received a master's degree in library science from the University of Kentucky in 1971. She graduated from the University of Maryland in 1991 with a doctor of philosophy degree in American studies. She was awarded a doctorate in humane letters by the North Carolina State University in 2010.[2]

In 2011, the American Library Association awarded her the Melvil Dewey Medal (later renamed the ALA Medal of Excellence).[3][1] She received the 2016 Miles Conrad Award in recognition of her digital library leadership from the National Federation of Advanced Information Services, which merged with NISO in 2019.[4]

Library and nonprofit career[edit]

Marcum began her career teaching English at the University of Kentucky, where she switched careers to librarianship and worked for three years on a Ford Foundation program at Vanderbilt University. She then worked with the management training program at the Association of Research Libraries from 1977 to 1981.[5] From 1980 to 1989, she worked for the Council on Library Resources. She served as Dean of the Catholic University of America School of Library and Information Science from 1989 to 1992. She served as director of public service and collection management at the Library of Congress from 1993 to 1995. In 1995, she was named president of the Council on Library Resources and oversaw its merger with the Commission on Preservation and Access to create the Council on Library and Information Resources. From 2003 to 2011, she returned to the Library of Congress as Associate Librarian for Library Services.[6][7][4] Her areas of expertise included bibliographic control and preservation.[5]

On January 1, 2012, shortly after her retirement from the Library of Congress, Marcum joined Ithaka S+R, a division of Ithaka Harbors, as its first managing director.[8] She retired in 2016, succeeded by former Vassar College president Catharine Bond Hill, but continued to work for Ithaka S+R as a senior advisor until her death.[9][1]
