William Andrew Moffett (January 25, 1933 – February 20, 1995) was a historian and librarian who was named "100 of the Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century" by ''American Libraries'' in 1999.〔Kniffel, Sullivan & McCormick 1999, p. 44〕 He is primarily known for aiding in the capture of a prolific library thief, Stephen Blumberg, and, more famously, opening access of the Dead Sea Scrolls for scholarly use, both of which news stories made the front page of the ''New York Times''.〔Berry 1992, p.51〕 Moffett was also known for being a highly influential academic librarian director at Oberlin College, the 6th Librarian at the Huntington Library and for being named Academic/Research Librarian of the Year in 1993 by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL).〔Davis 1995, p. 232〕 ==Early life and career== William Moffett was born on January 25, 1933 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was traditionally educated in Mississippi and finished his schooling at the Chamberlain-Hunt Academy. From there, Moffett went on to pursue a collegiate academic path in history, earning an A.B. degree from Davidson College〔Baumann, 2003 p. 157〕 as well as going on to pursue higher education at Duke University where he earned a M.A. degree and Ph.D. degree in English history.〔Wilford 1995, p. B8〕 Between 1956 and 1974 Moffett was an educator at various institutions, including Alma College and Charlotte Country Day School.〔Baumann 2003, p. 157〕 While working as an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston William became involved in several roles at the campus’ library that influenced him to go and earn a Master of Library Science from Simmons College in Boston.〔 Moffett eventually moved on from a lack of teaching opportunities to a newly burgeoning field in libraries,〔 a field which would define the remainder of his career. He first worked as an academic librarian at the Crumb Library of the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Potsdam. Here he combined his past experiences in education with librarianship, incorporating library instruction at the university.〔
