SERVICE FOCUS 

 

My board memberships and offices held have often been in cooperation with a national or international organization carried out in a local or regional setting. The focus of these activities is most often centered on learning and advising with a special interest in organization, technology, and management. The knowledge gained through these service positions enhances my teaching, research and writing since it allows me to maintain connections with library and information science professionals.
