Brian Kenney Named 'SLJ’ Editor-in-Chief

By Staff -- School Library Journal, 9/1/2005

Brian Kenney, formerly Library Journal’s executive editor of technology and Web, took on a new job as School Library Journal’s editor-in-chief on August 1. He succeeds Evan St. Lifer, who joined Scholastic Library Publishing in June as VP and general manager.

Since joining Reed Business Information in 2001, Kenney has reshaped LJ’s quarterly supplement netConnect and launched the annual Movers & Shakers supplement. He started LJ’s best-seller list of most-borrowed library books and created Library By Design, an annual publication on library interiors.

Kenney, who earned his MS in library science at Pratt Institute, began his career at the New York Public Library as a reference librarian. He then served as a manager of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Library, where he oversaw seven departments, including children and young adults, the Multilingual Center, and languages and literature. In 2004, Kenney received a federal Institute of Museum and Libraries Services fellowship for a Web-enhanced, interdisciplinary Ph.D. program at the University of North Texas, Denton.
