In
a UCLA Committee on Academic Personnel post-tenure review, I was evaluated as
"knowledgeable, demanding, and available...a hardworking teacher who has
an ability to help graduate students define useful avenues of research and
present these in publishable form." My former students say "he is
devoted to his advisees." Based on their class
papers, more than fifty of my graduate students have published
articles in nationally refereed journals. Indeed,
my doctoral
students in particular have done exceptionally well including Dr. Leo
Liu, software engineer at Pinterest and Dr. Melvin Hale, a noted artist, wrote
a promising dissertation on the KBI theory, which
I look forward to reading as a book. Dr. Kenny
Crews formerly of Columbia University, for example, won the ACRL/ISI
doctoral dissertation fellowship; his Association for the Study of Higher
Education award-winning dissertation was published by the University of
Chicago Press (1994). Dr. Ali
B. Hassan, worked with me on his thesis about the Egyptian National
Library, and until recently served as the Arabian and Islamic bibliographer
at Ohio State University. In February 1997, Dr. Matthew Saxton,
now the Associate Dean at the University of Washington, a former doctoral
student at UCLA under my supervision, won the ALISE Research Methodology
Paper Award in Washington, DC for his meta-analysis of the reference
evaluation literature. Dr. Samuel
E. Trosow, made early tenure at the University of Western Ontario,
having won the Eugene Garfield--ALISE Outstanding Dissertation in 2003. Dr. Dave
Harmeyer, one of my Pepperdine Ed.D. students, won the 2006 Beta Phi
Mu doctoral dissertation scholarship award. In the meantime, I am expecting
great things from two graduate students of mine at the University of North
Carolina, Lili
Luo, now an associate professor at SJSU, and Amy
VanScoy, currently an assistant professor at the University of
Buffalo in Library and Information Studies. Joan Durrance asked me to join her Kaliper education project at the
University of Michigan as a Senior Scholar (Fall 1998 – Winter 2000). During
June 2006, I participated in the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), German Academic Exchange
Service's "Germany Today: Innovations in German and European Graduate
Education." (DAAD

have worked with several agencies to sponsored international scholars
including the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture;
Visiting Scholar (Ichiro
Ohba, now an Assistant Professor, University of Library Information
and Media Science, University of Rsukuba, Japan), Academic Year 2001/2002 and
the Junior Faculty Development Program (United States Department of State and
American Council of Teachers of Russian); Dr. Elza
P. Gousseva, Moscow State University of Culture, Academic Year
2000/2001; and Ms. Ekaterina Efimova of the Scientific Library of Ural State
University in Ekaterinburg, Russia. International scholars interested in
studying at UCLA should ask me for a copy of "Steps for Visiting
Scholars at UCLA" which our School is now revising and trying to keep up
to date. During
the period 2005-2008, I served on the editorial board of the Journal
of Education for Library and Information Science. PUBLICATIONS
