  • About Me

  • Research

  • Courses Taught

  • Theses Supervised


I'm on Administrative Leave/Sabbatical until June 2020 so am not doing any teaching in the 2019-20 academic year. When I'm not on leave I also supervise MLIS guided research and individual study projects.

Last updated 12 August 2019.


Research: I have two active research projects at the moment. The first is a study of everyday recordkeeping: how people "keep track" of things in their lives. This study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I'm embarking on a new a pilot study of how people value public libraries, and I hope to expand this into a larger project during my 2019-20 sabbatical.
