What drew me to Saint Leo?

A friend worked here. She said "Come check us out." I did, and I loved the people, the place, the mission and the values.  At the time (1999) Saint Leo had a new president who seemed to understand what Saint Leo needed and how to get there. I decided I wanted to be part of the journey up.

Research Interests

The Information Search Process and Information Seeking Behavior, focused on graduate students, patients with medical illnesses and their families; copyright and intellectual property; and Oral history.

Why these areas?

I'm interested in people. How they interact with technology, how they seek out solutions, and how they have coped with what life throws at them.
