Craig S. Likness, former associate professor in Coates Library, died on Jan. 19, 2018 in Pompano Beach, Fla. He was 69 years old.
Craig was known as a consummate reference librarian and bibliographer who received frequent praise from faculty and students for his research assistance. He was well versed on different faculty members' research areas and would constantly alert them to useful publications in their subject areas.
Craig started as a humanities librarian at Trinity in 1976, was promoted to head bibliographer in 1983, and then head of public services and collections in 1990. He left Trinity in 2000 to take a position as director of special collections and archives at the University of Miami. He retired a few years ago.
“Craig was a major figure in the Trinity University community for nearly 25 years. He was a superb librarian, a knowledgeable art collector, and a big fan of the Santa Fe opera. All of us at Trinity appreciated his dedication to his work and his co-workers,” said Chris Nolan, University Librarian.
Craig was known as a considerate and thoughtful colleague and boss, as well as a quiet social activist.
Friends and colleagues are invited to leave a message on his obituary guest book.
