The Executive Board has appointed ir. Wilma van Wezenbeek as director of the TU Delft Library, starting from 1 Augustus 2011.

Wilma graduated in materials engineering in 1991 and subsequently began her career in scientific publishing. She held numerous positions at Elsevier, established a publication agency for the FEMS (Federation of European Microbiological Societies) and, in between, she also spent a couple of years working as a science information officer in Delft. She succeeded in combining her interests in publishing, science and communication when she joined the TU Delft Library in 2006. She has worked at the Library as a member of the management team for five years, most recently in the post of deputy director.



Wilma is taking over from Maria Heijne, who spent ten years as the Director of TU Delft Library, a period during which she and her team successfully raised the Library's profile to its current leading position.   

A quote from Maria herself: “I am proud that Wilma, who has made an important contribution to our TU Delft Library in recent years, has agreed to take on this challenge. She will no doubt rise to meet it successfully and in her own way.”
