Paul Glassman has had a dual career path in museum management and library administration. He was Director of Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan's oldest house and headquarters for General Washington during the Battle of Harlem Heights in 1776; prior to that he was Assistant Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust in Oak Park, Illinois and served as Director of Education at Chicago Architecture Foundation.

His twenty years of library service have included art and design school libraries, such as Pratt Institute and New York School of Interior Design, as well as academic libraries, such as Hofstra University, where he served as Assistant Dean for Reference Services and Collection Development, and Felician College, where he currently serves as Director of Library Services and teaches two- and three-dimensional design in the Department of Art and Music.

With a Master of Architecture degree in addition to his library science qualification, he teaches library design and art librarianship at Rutgers and St. John's Universities. He also originated the architectural history and design program at Yeshiva University, where he has taught since 1994.

Paul's interest in library architecture has resulted in several workshops and presentations on library space design and adaptation at conferences of the Art Libraries Society of North America, Association of College and Research Libraries, LOEX, the Georgia Conference on Information Literacy, and the Library Management Institute.
