<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12px"><br><b style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">New Orleans, Louisiana, June 27, 2011</b>—Jay Jordan will retire as President and CEO of OCLC Online Computer Library Center on June 30, 2012.<br>
<br>The announcement was made today by OCLC Board Chair Larry Alford at the OCLC President’s Luncheon during the Annual Conference of the American Library Association in New Orleans, Louisiana.<br><br>"Jay Jordan has informed the OCLC Board of Trustees of his desire to retire as President and CEO in June 2012," said Mr. Alford. "Jay wanted to give us sufficient advance notice to provide time for a thorough search and a smooth transition for his successor. The Board is forming a search committee and is preparing to launch an international search for the fifth President and CEO of OCLC."<br>
<br>"Jay Jordan has presided over a period of remarkable growth and innovation during his 13 years at OCLC," said Mr. Alford. "Under his transformative leadership, OCLC has moved in new and exciting directions to fulfill its public purpose of furthering access to the world’s information and reducing the rate of rise of library costs."<br>
<br>"Today is not a farewell," said Mr. Alford. "We will recognize and celebrate Jay’s contributions to the cooperative in the coming year. In the meantime, it will be business as usual, and with Jay Jordan, that means full speed ahead."<br>
<br>In his remarks at the OCLC President’s Luncheon, Mr. Jordan stated: "It has been an honor to serve the OCLC cooperative. OCLC is an exceptional organization with an active and committed membership and a dedicated staff. OCLC’s Founder Fred Kilgour was fond of saying that OCLC was like the first flight of the Wright Brothers—12 seconds off the ground. That was 40 years ago. Today, our new WMS services are just getting off the ground, and I look forward to handing off to my successor a strong organization with an exciting set of opportunities."<br>
<br>According to Mr. Alford, the composition of the Search Committee will be announced in the near future.<br><br>OCLC has had four presidents since its founding in 1967:</p>
