My name is Etta Thornton-Verma and I'm the Library Director at DeVry Institute of Technology in Long Island City, Queens. I'm also a Doctoral student at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, though at the moment I am taking a break from that as I will be having a baby in August. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and figuring out what we can do to get this organization going again, as well as making some more professional contacts. Etta. -----Original Message----- From: metro-ny_asist-admin at asis.org [mailto:metro-ny_asist-admin at asis.org]On Behalf Of Richard Hill Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 9:51 AM To: metro-NY_asist at asis.org Subject: [Metro-ny_asist] Welcome and who is here?

I am part of the firm's Information Center which has a staff of 6 providing research, library management, document and knowledge management support services to about 130 attorneys across offices in New Haven, Stamford, Hartford, New York and Philadelphia. I've been at the firm about 3 years. My primary focus is on developing and maintaining the firm's newly-launched intranet portal used by both the attorney and administrative audiences in the firm. My responsibilities include technology management (mostly on the software side: XHTML, JavaScript & CSS), design, content management, information architecture, taxonomy development, technical support and administration for the portal. I also provide content and technical support to the firm's Franchise Law blog. Lastly, I provide business research support on an ad hoc basis. I've been in the information science/management game for almost 20 years and look forward to learning from and meeting each of you as we move forward. On the personal side, my wife and I live in West Hartford, CT with our daughter, who is off to college this fall, and our son, who is off to college next fall. We have two adorable Shih Tzus who will become our surrogate children once we're empty-nesters. ********************************************************************** This transmittal is intended for a particular addressee(s).

I try to teach at our Manhattan facility in NYU's Bobst Library when possible, as I live in downtown Brooklyn, but I also teach occasionally at CWPost in Brookville. Along with Heting Chu, we're the advisors to the ASIST student chapter at Palmer, which has not been doing much lately, but has many potentially interested people primarily those enrolled in our doctoral program--which is information studies generally, not librarianship as such. I was, formerly,(in succession) Chemistry Librarian, Biology Librarian, and Research Librarian, at Princeton University Library (I have a doctorate in Molecular Biology from Berkeley and a MLS from Rutgers). And I'm a founding member of the Executive Board of COUNTER.

I live in Manhattan. I have been building systems for project-based knowledge capture that can be used to provide contextually situated support for information and knowledge use. These are object-oriented systems that run identically on all operating systems. My background includes 20 years of consulting with Fortune-200 companies focused on analysis of technology-based opportunies and research portfolios. My academic interests include the role of context in knowledge communication, browsing interfaces for clustered collections, and models of news event descriptions for use in topic tracking and detection systems. I am also exploring application of machine learning to solve problems in these areas. This last semester I taught database design and management in the MLIS program. I look forward to meeting you all. Michael Cole mcole at scils.rutgers.edu michael.cole at nimiq.net
