Happy 80^th Birthday to Dr. Robert Holley!

Your friends and colleagues at the Wayne State University School of Information Sciences and the Wayne State University Library System wish you all the best.

Dr. Holley served as both Associate Dean and Interim Dean of Libraries for the Wayne State University Library System before joining the faculty at the School of Information Sciences. He continues to be a ardent supporter of our students, faculty, and alumni.

In 2022, Dr. Holley made a multi-million dollar bequest to the School of Information Sciences. He is the largest donor in the school's history. His gift established an endowed professorship in library science, created a new support fund for the school and added to a previously created scholarship fund in his name.

As a faculty member and retiree, Dr. Holley has published valuable research in the field of librarianship and received many honors for his work, including the LCATS Research Award Winner and Distinguished Alumnus, Columbia School of Library Service.

We’re honored to have him as part of our community.
