a book personAfter graduating in Dec. 1996, I began my present job as Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Information Studies. I quickly discovered that my years at the University of Pittsburgh had given me a good foundation upon which to proceed. In my teaching and research I need to be well acquainted with most aspects of information science, and I require a in-depth knowledge of the literature of archives and records management. My course work, discussions with my advisor, Richard Cox, and preparation for the comps helped me acquire this knowledge. The School of Information Sciences also gave me many opportunities to collaborate with others on a number of research opportunities and I find I am drawing heavily on this experience as I plan my present research agenda. Moreover, the people I met during my doctoral work continue to provide me with guidance and present me with exciting new idea for the future.
