Biography

I am truly delighted to be affiliated with KSU’s Information School where I have the opportunity to engage with top-notch students who are poised to contribute to the advance of health informatics.  I am recently retired from Drexel University’s College of Information, and I have spent much of my career working to advance the information professions, through research, leadership  and publication.  My interests span LIS  and informatics education and accreditation, health literacy and consumer information needs, especially in the digital age.
