About Me   About Me
~Involvement with TIG

I joined TIG the summer of 2006 as a volunteer moderator for their discussion boards during which I updated their guidelines and developed a moderation policy manual.

Since then I've worked with TIG as a consultant on TIG's exciting Revamp project. [More info here: http://www.tigblog.org/group/frontpage] More recently, I've been back in the office as a consultant regarding donor cultivation and prospect research.

~Professional Activities

Access to information and working with marginalized communities are among my top professional interests. I spent 2008 volunteering in a tiny aboriginal community in the Northwest Territories, fundraising and reviving their school library. If you want to learn more, I've written about the experience on my TIGblog. Earlier this year, I gained additional experience working with aboriginal communities in Northern Ontario, also in relation to libraries. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about working in the Canadian North!

Other professional and acadmemic interests include:
- research itself! Information seeking behaviour and usability
- information literacy, information policy
- identity management, privacy
- Japanese economic development, politics and history (Meiji restoration onwards)
- travel
- representation of ethnicity and gender
- First Nations history, politics, Nunavut
- online communities
- cyborgs
