Teaching: In Fall 2009 I will be teaching the required LIS 9004, Research methods and statistics. I have also taught two other required MLIS courses, Foundations of library and information science and Information Sources and Services. Other courses in the past five years have been the MLIS Consumer health information sources course and services and the LIS doctoral course Knowledge practices in scholarly and professional communities. I also supervise a number of guided research and individual study projects.

Research: My research focuses on the social practices of informing and the intersections between paid and unpaid work. I am working on two major research projects. The first is a study of communication among midwives and childbearing women funded by FIMS and by a standard research grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The second is a study of library- and community-based early learning programmes for infants, toddlers, and caregivers funded by the ALA Carroll Preston Baber grant and a SSHRC standard research grant.

In January 2009 I was appointed Assistant dean, research. I chair the FIMS research committee, which is responsible for the ethical review of FIMS research proposals.
