I earned my PhD at SCILS, Rutgers University where I was a member of APLab (Director: P.B. Kantor). Before I joined the faculty at FSU, I was a medical and business librarian.  As an educator, my primary goal is to train user-savvy and technology-savvy librarians who inherit and promote the core values of the information profession. I have taught about 8 different courses in this library school, but my all time favorite is Advanced Online Searching course. Go Super Searchers!! As a researcher, I trek to understand how humans search for, find, use, and organize information on the Web and in Digital Libraries(DLs). How e-Patients use information sources to make informed decision is another area of my research interests. 

When I don't teach or conduct research, I play with my children, "read" cooking books, search for trivia on the Web, or listen to jazz and K-Pop. My most wishes to have dinner with are the late Stefan Zweig and Nellie Bly , respectively. My favorite authors include Jane Austen, Stefan Zweig, Thomas Friedman, and Anna Quindlen (her Newsweek column, not quite her novels). I am a big fan of The Week magazine.
