Meet the Team

Tom Sanville joined LYRASIS in April, 2010 as Director of Licensing and Special Projects. In his role at LYRASIS, he created the Licensed Products and Services team, and works closely with libraries and library consortia to design cost effective licensing programs and other services. Prior to joining LYRASIS, Tom was the Executive Director of OhioLINK from 1992 to 2010, and served as Vice President of Marketing for OCLC. In addition, he was awarded the 2007 Professional Achievement Award for the Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (a division of the American Library Association), and he is also active in the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), Libraries Connect Ohio, and many other library organizations.

Ada Ding joined the consortial licensing team of LYRASIS (then SOLINET) in 2005. Since that time, she has worked closely with libraries and vendors to develop expertise in eresources and library services. With an M.S.I.S. degree, she worked as an Access Services Librarian for a member library before she came to LYRASIS. She has been a member of the Licensed Products and Services team since its inception, and enjoys being a part of and serving the library community.

Celeste Feather joined LYRASIS in July, 2010 after developing expertise in consortial eresource licensing at a statewide level. She also has many years of experience in public services, technical services, and administrative positions in academic libraries in the District of Columbia, Connecticut, and Ohio. When she acquired an M.L.S in 1989 her vision of librarianship did not include the kind of work she is doing today, but being a member of such an adaptable profession has been rewarding. She enjoys working on behalf of LYRASIS members and helping to create more opportunities for collaboration.
