He earned a Ph.D. in library and information science in 1997 from the University of Western Ontario; a Master of Biblical Studies from Heritage Theological Seminary (formerly London Baptist Seminary) in 1991; an M.A. in history from University of Guelph in 1971; and a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Winnipeg in 1969.

Wick's research interests include information-seeking behavior of clergy, access to information for senior populations, collection management - interdisciplinary collections, and electronic reference service. He is director and co-founder of the Center for the Study of Information and Religion in SLIS.
