Teaching
My role as a teacher is more than simply developing skilled information professionals.
I emphasize project-based learning, and
in each of my courses, students undertake a significant term project.
I encourage them to work with real organizations to address
real-world information needs, especially with community service organizations.
Past student projects include
designing, evaluating and implementing a system for Mullen library to collect reference statistics,
prototyping a web site for pregnancy support center,
analysis of archiving practices of DC Public defender and recommendations to improve operations,
critical analysis and design recommendations for the CUA Archives web site,
and multiple projects with local public schools, libraries and non-profit institutions.

Students in my Spring 2011 LSC 610 class created wireframes for a potential
redesign of the CUA Archives website.
