Bill has been the Director of Biomedical Libraries for Dartmouth College/Dartmouth Medical School (DMS), the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (formerly, the Center for Evaluative Clinical Sciences), and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) since August 1996. Before coming to Dartmouth, Bill was Associate Director for Information Services at the Biomedical Library of the University of Pennsylvania, and Executive Assistant to the Director of the University of Chicago Library and a Science Reference Librarian/Biomedical Specialist at Chicago's John Crerar Library. He was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica before beginning his graduate studies.

At Dartmouth, Bill is responsible for information resources and services that advance the research and scholarship, teaching, and patient-care activities of a large health and life sciences community. Dartmouth is a complex institution: the Medical School has 2,300 clinical, teaching, and research faculty, and an operating budget of $250 M; the Medical Center has 7,000 employees and an operating budget of $1.2 B (excluding the Medical School). Bill leads 30 biomedical librarians, technicians, and support staff stationed at multiple locations, and manages an annual budget of $4.5 million. He is a member of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Information Systems Steering Committee, a board-level group that oversees information and communication technologies for the health system, and chairs its Messaging, Collaboration, and ICT Support subcommittee. He is a member of the Medical School's strategic planning steering committee, represents DMS on the College's Council on Computing, and represents Dartmouth's professional schools on the College's Web Strategy Advisory Committee.
