 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 user needs research, donor cultivation and prospect research.
~Professional Activities
Access to information and working in developing communities are among my top professional interests. Recently, I spent a year volunteering in a tiny aboriginal community in the Northwest Territories, fundraising and reviving their school library. I also have worked with aboriginal communities in Northern Ontario. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about working in the Canadian North!
Other professional and acadmemic interests include:
- Managing online communities
- Information seeking behaviour and usability
- Information literacy
- Identity management, privacy
- Psychology and cognitive science
- Continental theory
- Japanese economic development, politics and history (Meiji restoration onwards)
- Representation of ethnicity and gender
- First Nations history
