I started working in 1984 in what was then SLIS (School of Library and Information Science) after receiving my MLIS degree.
In 1986, the school became GSLIS (Graduate School of Library and Information Science) and in 1997 we merged with Journalism to become FIMS.
I also teach part-time in the FIMS program.
In am currently teaching DIGICOMM 2203B Introduction to Web Design and Digital Imaging.
In the summer I will be teaching LIS 9731 Database Management.
I started in 2007 with the course Evolution of the Internet that I co-developed and co-taught with Judy Steward.
It was intended to be a more advanced introductory introduction to technology that would replace the old LIS 505 Information Systems and Technology required course that had been dropped from the curriculum.
I have taught the following courses
- LIS 9731 Evolution of the Internet
- LIS 9006 Online Searching
- LIS 9731 Database Management Systems

- DigiComm 2203 Web Design and Digital Imaging
