After 15 years as a practicing lawyer in an international financial center, I decided to follow my passion and to study librarianship and information science. My particular interests are scholarly communications and research data management, politics and policy, and social justice.
I believe that thinking and the ability to reason respectively is an important activity that is often rushed or completely overlooked. It might be becoming an endangered species, or perhaps even a lost art. LIS as a discipline is a key resource in the work for the restoration of reasoning.
