Biographical note
Harold Edward Holland served as Director of Libraries at Pepperdine University from 1981 to 1989. While at Pepperdine, Holland
was involved with several major projects and improvements that included consolidating various collections, implementing the
computerized Virginia Tech Library System, expanding the University Archives, participating in the USC electronic library
consortium, and developing the Pepperdine Plaza and other center libraries. In addition to these activities, Holland was instrumental
in the planning and renovation of Payson Library. Holland retired from the position of Library Director in 1989 but remained
working at Pepperdine University in Special Collections and University Archives for several years.
Before his appointment at Pepperdine, Holland served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Library Science at the
University of Missouri-Columbia. In 1976, Holland received his D.L.S. from the University of Missouri-Columbia and subsequently
his dissertation
Religious Periodicals in Development of Nashville, Tennessee as a Regional Publishing Center, 1830-1880 was published.
Holland also taught at Pahlavic University (Shiraz, Iran), Appalachian Teachers College, the University of Oklahoma, and Ibaraki
Christian College (Japan). In addition to his teaching duties, he served as a minister of the Churches of Christ in Tennessee.
Holland was very active in the library community writing articles for various publications and serving in many organizations
including the ALA (American Library Association), EDUCOM, CAL/PALS (California Private Academic Libraries), and the AICCU
(Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities).
