I joined InfoNOW in May of 2009, shortly after the merger of Engineering, Science, and Technology Information Services (ESTIS) and Biomedical Information Service (BIS). Prior to joining InfoNOW, I was active in library research, competitive intelligence, and market research activities in the various domains including; financial services, energy, publishing, and consulting.

I am interested in all elements of research (primary and secondary). My research methods tend to blend disciplines. I am pragmatically agnostic in this regard. My experience as a researcher has been to acknowledge the limitations of the work that is available, then develop models that make the most sense from the evidence available (to paraphrase Sir Arthur Doyle).
