J. Gormly Miller (1975-1979) - J. Gormly Miller received a Bachelor of Arts degree
from University of Rochester in 1936 and a bachelor's degree in Library Service from
Columbia University in 1938. He worked at the Rochester Public Library from 1938 to
1942, and served in the United States Army during World War II. In 1946, Miller came
to Cornell University as a librarian in the newly established School of Industrial
and Labor Relations. From 1949 until his retirement in 1977, he served on the faculty
of the ILR School as an associate professor and then a full professor, teaching courses
in research methods. He held numerous consulting and special assignments, including
advising the Department of Labor Relations at the University of Chile in Santiago
on library development plans in 1961, and advising the U.S. Department of Labor on
expanding library resources. From 1962 to 1970, he served as Assistant Director of
personnel and budget for libraries. In 1970, he left for Geneva, Switzerland to become
deputy chief of the Central Library and Documentation Branch of the United Nations'
International Labor Agency. Miller returned to Cornell in 1975 to assume the position
of Director of the Cornell University Libraries. Under his administration, the library's
total collection grew to more than four million volumes. Miller strengthened library
rules and regulations to fight theft and vandalism. Space continued to be a problem,
and the first off-site storage facility was built in 1979. During Miller's stay at
Cornell University, he actively participated in local government. He was an Ithaca
alderman from 1959 to 1963 and again in 1968, when he was chairman of the Ithaca City
Charter Revision Commission and co-chairman of the Common Council's Finance Committee.
He retired from his post as University Librarian in 1979, but returned to serve as
Acting Librarian in 1985.
