Charles I. Guarria serves as Chair of the Library and Full-time Associate Professor Librarian at Long Island University, overseeing library operations across multiple campuses including Brooklyn, Post, Hudson, and Riverhead. He holds academic credentials from Stony Brook University, Queens College (CUNY), and LIU Brooklyn.
His educational background includes:
- B.A., Stony Brook University
- M.L.I.S., Queens College (CUNY)
- M.S.S., LIU Brooklyn
Guarria's research centers on the intersection of Library Science and Economics, with significant focus on recession impacts, budget allocation formulas, and faculty hiring practices in academic libraries. His work bridges theoretical economic principles with practical library administration, particularly in resource-constrained environments, while maintaining active scholarship in Sports Science applications.
His scholarly recognition includes three Highly Commended Paper awards from the Literati Networks Awards. Key publications examine economic crises' effects on libraries, faculty search committee methodologies, and institutional funding reallocations, with presentations at American Libraries Association conferences from 2008-2010 addressing recession impacts on library systems.
Professional service includes leadership of LIU's central library operations supporting all academic units. No student advising or grant activities are documented in available records, though his administrative role directly enables research infrastructure across the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, LIU College of Pharmacy, and other constituent schools.
