Michael Paulus, MLIS, DMin
University Librarian
Michael Paulus leads the University Libraries at Creighton University. Before coming to Creighton, Dr. Paulus was Dean of the Library, Assistant Provost for Educational Technology, and Associate Professor of Information Studies at Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, Washington. Other previous roles include directing the archives and special collections program at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and supervising technical services for special collections at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey.
Dr. Paulus’s administrative and research interests focus on AI ethics and the integration of AI into libraries and institutions of higher education. He is the author of Artificial Intelligence and the Apocalyptic Imagination: Artificial Agency and Human Hope (2023) and co-editor of AI, Faith, and the Future: An Interdisciplinary Approach (2022). His current book project, Hope in the Library: Shaping Our Future with Artificial Intelligence, argues for the importance of libraries in an age increasingly shaped by AI.
