Depending what you need, I would be interested. I can only work
remotely (I'm in London, Ontario).

I was an IA at Argus Associates. My resume is still posted to the
Argus web site:

  http://www.argus-inc.com/contact/fast-resume.shtml

It's a year old. Since then I have completed my master's in library
and information science including courses in cataloging, thesaurus
construction, facet analysis, information visualization and more. 

I also conducted a research project comparing how people who have
learned to search on the Web percieve and interact with both Web
search engines and electronic library catalogues.

I continue to do conference speaking related to web development.
I'll be giving a basic information architecture talk at Web Builder
2002 in Las Vegas and a talk on content management systems at
Intracom 2002 in Montreal.

I'm available for most of the next five weeks. I'm on vacation or
extremely busy from late July until late September. Starting in
October I should be available again.

My rate is $85/hour.
