For example, I hope to work more closely with the communications department and the public services part of the library re: data collection, user research, evaluations, and assessment. We're definitely going to be figuring this out as we go! Thanks Brian -

As a former UX Librarian I think it is important to keep all the user touch-points in mind and not just focus the virtual ones. Obviously the web experience is an important but there is more to librarians than the web. Good luck with your new endeavor though. This seems more like “web” UX rather than pure UX.
