About me

About

During 2009 I taught MLIS courses in Foundations of Library and Information Science, Management of Library and Information Centers and Introduction to Research Methods in Library and Information Science. I have been on a steep learning curve, developing my course material and learning the ropes of UWM‘s online teaching system Desire to Learn (D2L). This has kept me busy, but I managed to fit in a keynote at the Stelline Conference in Milan, Italy (March 2009) and another keynote, again in Milan, at the IFLA Pre-Conference of the Special Interest Group on Education for Developing Countries (August 2009). I also gave a number of presentations at US conferences, which you can find here. Starting in the Spring semester of 2010, I began teaching a new course in International and Comparative Librarianship.
