Thomas D. Wilson (born 18 January 1935) is a British information scientist whose research has focused on information management and information seeking behavior.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_D._Wilson] Wilson is Professor Emeritus at the University of Sheffield and at the University of Borås, Sweden.

== Life ==

Thomas Daniel Wilson was born in 1935 in County Durham, England. He left school at age 16 to work as a library assistant in Durham County Library. Following two years' national service in the Royal Air Force he returned to Durham County Library and took the examinations of the Library Association to qualify as a professional librarian. He then served as head of the library at Stockton/Billingham Technical College, and as a corporate librarian for the Nuclear Research Centre of C. A. Parsons and Company (now Siemens Power Generation, Newcastle), when he became interested in the use of new technology in information science. He completed his Library Association Fellowship in 1961. He began teaching that year in the School of Librarianship, College of Commerce, Newcastle upon Tyne, first as Assistant Lecturer and then as Principal Lecturer. He married Nyra Tully in 1960; they remained married until her death in 2024. Wilson obtained his B.Sc. in Economics from the University of London in 1970.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170528200533/http://informationr.net/tdw/]

== Contributions ==
Wilson spent the academic year 1970-1971, plus the summer of 1971, as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Maryland at the invitation of Professor Paul Wasserman, the founding Dean of the library school. While there, Wilson worked with fellow Visiting Lecturer [[Dagobert Soergel]] to re-design their Proseminar course. In January 1972, Wilson moved to University of Sheffield to take up a two-year position as Principal Investigator on a research project at the invitation of Professor Wilf Saunders, Head of the Postgraduate School of Librarianship and Information Science. Towards the end of the Local Library Cooperation project, Wilson was appointed to a full-time position on the academic staff, and he worked on completing his Ph.D. From 1974 onwards Wilson obtained a succession of research grants from the British Library Research and Development Department (BLRDD), the Department of Health and Social Security, and the Economic and Social Research Council. Wilson received his Ph.D. from University of Sheffield in 1975.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170528200533/http://informationr.net/tdw/]

While at Sheffield, Wilson became extensively involved in international activities. Sheffield's School ran courses for the British Council which were sometimes followed by requests to travel to advise on various aspects of professional education. Wilson had trips to Turkey, Poland, Tunisia, and Morocco and the beginning of a long association with Portugal. Sheffield eventually offered its MSc in Information Management on a part-time basis at the campus of the Instituto Nacional de Engenharia in Lisbon. One graduate of the program, Ana Azevedo, contributed to the development of an MSc in Information Management program at the University of Oporto and Wilson taught in that program until 2012.

In 1982, Wilson took over from Wilf Saunders as Head of the now Department of Information Studies, the name having been changed in 1981. Wilson served as Head of Department until 1997. During his Study Leaves, Wilson served in visiting roles at McGill University (Canada), Curtin University (Western Australia), and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (USA). He was instrumental in the establishment of EUCLID (the European Association for Library and Information Education and Research), which is now known as the BOBCATSSS not-for-profit association.

Wilson retired from the University of Sheffield in 2000. He currently serves as Visiting Professor at the University of Leeds Business School.

=== Information Behavior Research: ===
Wilson published his first model of information behavior in 1981,[https://doi.org/10.1108/eb026702] outlining the factors leading to information seeking and the barriers inhibiting action. He later (1994)[https://informationr.net/tdw/publ/papers/1994FiftyYears.html] built upon his original model in order to understand the personal circumstance, social role, and environmental context in which an information need is created. He proposed a third, general model in 1996 that incorporated several new elements to demonstrate the stages experienced by the 'person in context', or searcher, when looking for information. In (1999)[https://doi.org/10.1108%2FEUM0000000007145] Wilson published his nested model.

Dr. Wilson's best-known study on information seeking behavior was the INISS project (Information Needs in Local Authority Social Services Departments), conducted from 1980 to 1985. Using 'structured observation' as one of the main research methods, the five-person research team carried out a total of twenty-two person-weeks of observation before surveying a further 150 persons in an interview survey. The aim of the project was to increase the efficiency of Social Services workers in the management of information.

More recently, Dr. Wilson looked at information seeking behavior for the British Library Research and Innovation Centre. The resulting paper, "[https://informationr.net/tdw/publ/unis/ Uncertainty in Information Seeking]" (1999), identified that information seeking is based on a series of uncertainty resolutions which lead to a problem solution. At each of the four steps of the process - problem identification, problem definition, problem resolution, and solution statement - more information must be gathered in order to resolve the uncertainty of that step.

Dr. Wilson has been an advocate for the adoption of activity theory in the area of information behaviour and in information systems research. He created a new process model of activity, with Motivation and Goal and how they prepare the information environment for activity, overall stressing that activity theory is not predictive, but rather a framework attempting to describe human behaviour.

Wilson was the founder and first editor of the ''International Journal of Information Management''. In this area he studied business use of the World Wide Web,[https://informationr.net/ir/1-2/paper6.html] the relationship of information systems and business performance,[https://informationr.net/ir/1-2/paper5.html] and the application of mobile information systems in policing.[https://informationr.net/ir/13-4/paper378.html]

Wilson founded ''Information Research: An International Electronic Journal'' in 1995 and published it until 2017, when it moved to the University of Borås. Wilson served as the journal's editor-in-chief until 2024, when the position was assumed by Dr. Crystal Fulton of University College Dublin.[https://doi.org/10.47989/ir30253985]

== Life ==

Martha Ethelyn Williams was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1934 to Harold and Alice Williams. She had four siblings and attended a Catholic high school. Williams received her A.B. in chemistry in 1955 from Barat College, then an all-women's institution, in Lake Forest, Illinois. She received her M.A. in philosophy from Loyola University of Chicago in 1957.

== Contributions ==
Williams began her career as a chemist at the Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI) in Chicago in 1957 and worked there for 15 years, including ten as manager of information sciences. Additionally, Williams became director of the Computer Search Center as she secured funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and began research into database searching applications.[https://doi.org/10.1353%2Flac.0.0121] Beginning in the 1960s, Williams worked largely in database development, becoming a computer database specialist. Williams helped create computer-readable databases and developed a search algorithm to assist in online searching. Using ongoing NSF grants, Williams worked on projects that included database mapping models, search schemes for resource sharing, a database selector for network use, an integrated man/machine interface to facilitate network resource utilization, automatic duplicate detection of journal articles appearing in multiple databases, and comparative analyses of online retrieval interfaces. Williams pioneered online database research and the development of better search applications, especially in scientific databases.

In 1972, Williams was asked to join the teaching staff at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a research professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory of the College of Engineering. There, Williams founded and ran the Information Retrieval Research Laboratory (IRRL). In 1974 Williams was selected as the successor to [[Carlos Albert Cuadra|Carlos Cuadra]], the editor of the first ten volumes of ''ARIST''. She served as Editor of ''ARIST'' for 25 years (1975-2000).

Williams retired from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001. In retirement she designed and was general contractor for her home on the lakefront of Lake Michigan near Port Washington, Wisconsin, where she died after a short illness in 2007.

== Life ==
Griffiths was born in 1952 in Isleworth, Middlesex, England. Griffiths' maternal grandfather was active in the Dutch Resistance during World War II, and her father served in the British Army. She grew up in London with her two brothers and sister. She is fluent in Dutch and French, and played competitive netball, tennis, and field hockey.[https://dsu.edu/_files/mag-archive/2015_University_Magazine.pdf]

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) in Physics with Honours (1973 - one of just three women) and a PhD in Information Science from University College, London (1977). She also taught at Queen's University Belfast. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Computer Science and Statistics at University College, London, and in 2016 was awarded an Honorary degree in Science by the same institution.

Griffiths immigrated to the United States after graduate school to build a research career, when she was recruited by UC Berkeley School of Library and Information Studies Dean [[Michael Buckland]] to be a visiting professor of Information Science.[https://doi.org/10.1002/bult.147] Within one year, she was recruited by King Research, Inc. where she contributed to commercial projects developing information systems for state and Federal agencies. She served as '''Vice President for King Research, Inc.'''

Griffiths married Donald Ward King (July 18, 1932 - November 17, 2019), a world-renowned statistician and information science pioneer.[https://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2020/01/01/obituary-donald-ward-king/] Griffiths has one daughter Rhiannon King and five stepdaughters, and several grandchildren.[https://sdexcellence.org/Dr._Jose'-Marie_Griffiths_2023]

== Contributions ==
Griffiths was invited by the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to be their first Collaborating Scientist in Information Science. The position was shared with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she served for a time as a professor in the School of Information Sciences before moving into academic administration.

She served as lead or key personnel for projects with major corporations such as AT&T, Bell Laboratories, Eastman Kodak, Johnson and Johnson, and IBM, and with over 28 U.S. Federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, NASA, NIH, and U.S. intelligence agencies. She has received U.S. Presidential appointments to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (1996 to 2003, President Clinton), the Information Technology Advisory Committee (2005, President Bush) and the National Science Board (2006 to 2012), the governing board for the National Science Foundation. Dr. Griffiths has testified before Congress and served on several blue-ribbon panels and committees for Federal agencies.

Among other positions she served as Vice President for Academic Affairs (Bryant University in Rhode Island, 2010-2015), Dean of the School of Information and Library Science (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2004-2009), Doreen E. Boyce Chair in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh (2001-2004), Chief Information Officer (University of Michigan, 1996-2001), and Director of the School of Information Sciences (1992-1996) and Vice-Chancellor (University of Tennessee-Knoxville, 1994-1996).

Her selection as Dakota State University's 23rd President was announced by the South Dakota Board of Regents on April 27, 2015. Griffiths called DSU "the MIT of the Plains States" in an interview that year.[https://dsu.edu/_files/mag-archive/2015_University_Magazine.pdf] In the role she has created millions of dollars in public/private partnerships for the university, resulting in new building construction, a complete institutional rebrand, and a cyber-research initiative with a workforce development pipeline and a research hub in two locations within the state. The university became recognized as a Consultant Cyber Defense Regional Resource Center, responsible for setting standards and providing leadership for cyber security education and research in 11 states and over 35 universities. Griffiths announced in October 2025 that she would transition to the new role of Chancellor at DSU at the end of the 2025-26 academic year.[https://news.sd.gov/news?id=news_kb_article_view&sys_id=3dbdbbf31b98fa90f6142062f54bcb82]

Griffiths is a productive researcher, authoring or co-authoring nine books, more than 100 articles, chapters in books, and international conference proceedings, and some 200 technical reports.

Thomas D. Wilson (born 18 January 1935) is a British information scientist whose research has focused on information management and information seeking behavior.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_D._Wilson] Wilson is Professor Emeritus at the University of Sheffield and at the University of Borås, Sweden.

Photo Available @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_D._Wilson

== Life ==

Thomas Daniel Wilson was born in 1935 in County Durham, England. He left school at age 16 to work as a library assistant in Durham County Library. Following two years' national service in the Royal Air Force he returned to Durham County Library and took the examinations of the Library Association to qualify as a professional librarian. He then served as head of the library at Stockton/Billingham Technical College, and as a corporate librarian for the Nuclear Research Centre of C. A. Parsons and Company (now Siemens Power Generation, Newcastle), when he became interested in the use of new technology in information science. He completed his Library Association Fellowship in 1961. He began teaching that year in the School of Librarianship, College of Commerce, Newcastle upon Tyne, first as Assistant Lecturer and then as Principal Lecturer. He married Nyra Tully in 1960; they remained married until her death in 2024. Wilson obtained his B.Sc. in Economics from the University of London in 1970.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170528200533/http://informationr.net/tdw/]

== Contributions ==
Wilson spent the academic year 1970-1971, plus the summer of 1971, as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Maryland at the invitation of Professor Paul Wasserman, the founding Dean of the library school. While there, Wilson worked with fellow Visiting Lecturer Dagobert Soergel to re-design their Proseminar course. In January 1972, Wilson moved to University of Sheffield to take up a two-year position as Principal Investigator on a research project at the invitation of Professor Wilf Saunders, Head of the Postgraduate School of Librarianship and Information Science. Towards the end of the Local Library Cooperation project, Wilson was appointed to a full-time position on the academic staff, and he worked on completing his Ph.D. From 1974 onwards Wilson obtained a succession of research grants from the British Library Research and Development Department (BLRDD), the Department of Health and Social Security, and the Economic and Social Research Council. Wilson received his Ph.D. from University of Sheffield in 1975.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170528200533/http://informationr.net/tdw/]

While at Sheffield, Wilson became extensively involved in international activities. Sheffield's School ran courses for the British Council which were sometimes followed by requests to travel to advise on various aspects of professional education. Wilson had trips to Turkey, Poland, Tunisia, and Morocco and the beginning of a long association with Portugal. Sheffield eventually offered its MSc in Information Management on a part-time basis at the campus of the Instituto Nacional de Engenharia in Lisbon. One graduate of the program, Ana Azevedo, contributed to the development of an MSc in Information Management program at the University of Oporto and Wilson taught in that program until 2012.

In 1982, Wilson took over from Wilf Saunders as Head of the now Department of Information Studies, the name having been changed in 1981. Wilson served as Head of Department until 1997. During his Study Leaves, Wilson served in visiting roles at McGill University (Canada), Curtin University (Western Australia), and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (USA). He was instrumental in the establishment of EUCLID (the European Association for Library and Information Education and Research), which is now known as the BOBCATSSS not-for-profit association.

Wilson retired from the University of Sheffield in 2000. He currently serves as Visiting Professor at the University of Leeds Business School.

=== Information Behavior Research: ===
Wilson published his first model of information behavior in 1981,[https://doi.org/10.1108/eb026702] outlining the factors leading to information seeking and the barriers inhibiting action. He later (1994)[https://informationr.net/tdw/publ/papers/1994FiftyYears.html] built upon his original model in order to understand the personal circumstance, social role, and environmental context in which an information need is created. He proposed a third, general model in 1996 that incorporated several new elements to demonstrate the stages experienced by the 'person in context', or searcher, when looking for information. In (1999)[https://doi.org/10.1108%2FEUM0000000007145] Wilson published his nested model.

Dr. Wilson's best-known study on information seeking behavior was the INISS project (Information Needs in Local Authority Social Services Departments), conducted from 1980 to 1985. Using 'structured observation' as one of the main research methods, the five-person research team carried out a total of twenty-two person-weeks of observation before surveying a further 150 persons in an interview survey. The aim of the project was to increase the efficiency of Social Services workers in the management of information.

More recently, Dr. Wilson looked at information seeking behavior for the British Library Research and Innovation Centre. The resulting paper, "[https://informationr.net/tdw/publ/unis/ Uncertainty in Information Seeking]" (1999), identified that information seeking is based on a series of uncertainty resolutions which lead to a problem solution. At each of the four steps of the process - problem identification, problem definition, problem resolution, and solution statement - more information must be gathered in order to resolve the uncertainty of that step.

Dr. Wilson has been an advocate for the adoption of activity theory in the area of information behaviour and in information systems research. He created a new process model of activity, with Motivation and Goal and how they prepare the information environment for activity, overall stressing that activity theory is not predictive, but rather a framework attempting to describe human behaviour.

Wilson was the founder and first editor of the ''International Journal of Information Management''. In this area he studied business use of the World Wide Web,[https://informationr.net/ir/1-2/paper6.html] the relationship of information systems and business performance,[https://informationr.net/ir/1-2/paper5.html] and the application of mobile information systems in policing.[https://informationr.net/ir/13-4/paper378.html]

Wilson founded ''Information Research: An International Electronic Journal'' in 1995 and published it until 2017, when it moved to the University of Borås. Wilson served as the journal's editor-in-chief until 2024, when the position was assumed by Dr. Crystal Fulton of University College Dublin.[https://doi.org/10.47989/ir30253985]

== Life ==

Martha Ethelyn Williams was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1934 to Harold and Alice Williams. She had four siblings and attended a Catholic high school. Williams received her A.B. in chemistry in 1955 from Barat College, then an all-women's institution, in Lake Forest, Illinois. She received her M.A. in philosophy from Loyola University of Chicago in 1957.

== Contributions ==
Williams began her career as a chemist at the Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI) in Chicago in 1957 and worked there for 15 years, including ten as manager of information sciences. Additionally, Williams became director of the Computer Search Center as she secured funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and began research into database searching applications.[https://doi.org/10.1353%2Flac.0.0121] Beginning in the 1960s, Williams worked largely in database development, becoming a computer database specialist. Williams helped create computer-readable databases and developed a search algorithm to assist in online searching. Using ongoing NSF grants, Williams worked on projects that included database mapping models, search schemes for resource sharing, a database selector for network use, an integrated man/machine interface to facilitate network resource utilization, automatic duplicate detection of journal articles appearing in multiple databases, and comparative analyses of online retrieval interfaces. Williams pioneered online database research and the development of better search applications, especially in scientific databases.

In 1972, Williams was asked to join the teaching staff at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a research professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory of the College of Engineering. There, Williams founded and ran the Information Retrieval Research Laboratory (IRRL). In 1974 Williams was selected as the successor to Carlos Cuadra, the editor of the first ten volumes of ''ARIST''. She served as Editor of ''ARIST'' for 25 years (1975-2000).

Williams retired from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001. In retirement she designed and was general contractor for her home on the lakefront of Lake Michigan near Port Washington, Wisconsin, where she died after a short illness in 2007.

From 2005 to about 2015, students in her LIS 462 Digital Libraries class digitized scrapbooks from the Simmons College Archives, covering all aspects of the production process.[https://web.archive.org/web/20180117223617/http://www.simmons.edu/news/school-of-library-and-information-science/2017/october/candy-schwartz] The "Notable Women of Simmons College" project continues under LIS 462, renamed as Digitization Project Planning and Management.[https://www.simmons.edu/news/beyond-glass-simmons-women-and-archives][https://www.simmons.edu/library/archives/collections/scrapbooks] Schwartz also taught workshops and lectured internationally, including at McGill, Dalhousie, the University of Arizona, the Hong Kong Institute of Science and Technology, and several universities in Thailand.

Schwartz served as Co-Editor-in-Chief of ''Library & Information Science Research'' from 1993 to 2009, contributing three journal editorials annually.[https://doi.org/10.1016/S0740-8188(98)90025-1] Schwartz' columns provide notable advice for doctoral students about publishing their research. She authored three books, including ''Sorting out the Web: Approaches to subject access'' (2000). She published numerous articles, journals, and collaborative papers on the field and future of library science.

Schwartz was the Co-P.I. of an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded grant to institute a doctoral concentration in managerial leadership (2005-2008).[https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/re-02-05-0069-05]

Schwartz was extensively involved in ASIS&T and served as Chair of the Classification Research SIG (1981-1983), Chair of the New England Chapter (1983-1984), Director-at-Large (1989-1992), and Chair of the Membership Committee (1992-1994). She served as the Simmons student chapter Faculty Advisor for three terms between 1982 and 2006, and was also Faculty Advisor to Simmons' Beta Beta chapter of Beta Phi Mu (1988-1989). She was elected and served as ASIS&T President in 1998-1999. Schwartz also served as President of Documentation Abstracts, Inc. in 1991-1994.

== Life ==

Son of a geologist,[https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-005-0272-5] Peter Ingwersen studied mathematics/physics at St. Jørgens Gymnasium and then served as a Staff Sergeant in the Gardehusar Regiment (Danish Royal Navy) during 1966-68. He graduated from the Royal School of Library and Information Science with a library degree in 1973, and that year joined the school's faculty as a lecturer. He received a Ph.D. from Copenhagen Business School in 1991, dissertation titled "Intermediary Functions in Information Retrieval Interaction".

He married Irene Wormell.[https://doi.org/10.1002/bult.1720300606]

== Contributions ==
From 1982-1984 Ingwersen worked for the European Space Agency in Frascati, Italy, as a research associate in the Information Retrieval Service. In 1984, Ingwersen returned to the Royal School as an associate professor in the Information Resources Management department. He served as Head of the Department of Information Retrieval Theory (1993-1999) and then became Denmark's first Research Professor in librarianship and information Science in January 2001.[https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-005-0272-5] He was promoted to full professor in information retrieval in January 2006. He retired from the Royal School in 2010.[https://lex.dk/Peter_Ingwersen] He remains (since 1997) an affiliate professor at Åbo Akademi University, Finland, and (since 2017) an adjunct professor at Aalborg University, Denmark.

Writing with his student Tomas Almind in ''Journal of Documentation'' (1997), Ingwersen coined the term "webometrics" and launched the field. He further defined webometrics in a 2001 article with Lennart Björneborn.[https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1005642218907] He provided expert consultation on the development of the information system of the Danish Parliament.[https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-005-0272-5]

'''Michael Buckland''' (born 1941) is an information scientist and emeritus professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information. He makes significant contributions to the history of information science and documentation, theoretical foundations of information, library services, and bibliography. In addition to the [[ASIST Award of Merit|ASIS&T Award of Merit]] (2012), Buckland received the "Best JASIST Paper Overall" Award (2017) for "Information as Thing," published in 1991.

== Life ==

Michael Keeble Buckland was born on November 23, 1941 in Wantage and raised in London, Staffordshire, and Stoke-on-Trent, England. After studying history at the University of Oxford, he began his library career as a trainee at the Bodleian Library. He received his professional qualification in librarianship from the University of Sheffield in 1965 and joined the staff of the University of Lancaster Library the same year, one year after the university was founded. From 1967 to 1972, he was responsible for the University of Lancaster Library Research Unit, where a series of studies were conducted on book usage, book availability, and library management simulations.[https://doi.org/10.1108/jd-05-2024-272]

In 1972, Buckland received his Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield. His doctoral dissertation, ''Library Stock Control'', was later published as ''Book Availability and the Library User'' (Pergamon, 1975).

== Contributions ==
In 1972, Buckland moved to the United States to Purdue University Libraries, where he was assistant director of libraries for technical services. In 1976, he joined the former School of Librarianship at UC Berkeley as Dean and served in the role until 1984. During his service, he oversaw the school’s transition to the School of Library and Information Studies. From 1983 to 1987, he served as assistant vice president for library plans and policies for the nine campuses of the University of California. In 1988, he returned to the school as a professor. At Berkeley his courses taught included Indexing and Vocabulary, Concepts of Information Management, Classification and Bibliographical Representation, Design of Library Services, and Access to American Cultural Heritages. From 1991 to 2025, he co-hosted his Information Access Seminar series with [[Clifford Lynch]] every Friday afternoon. He became emeritus professor in 2004 and has been a visiting professor in Austria, Australia and Sweden. Since 2000 he serves as '''co-director of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative'''.

Buckland is one of the most heavily cited authors in library and information science, and his scholarship spans over 50 years. Among his most influential contributions to information science is his reconceptualization of information itself, published in his seminal 1991 paper "Information as Thing". Closely related is his 1997 paper, "What is a Document?", which draws on the work of Suzanne Briet and expands the concept of documents beyond traditional textual materials. His publications, including five books, highlight the influence of pioneers, including [[Suzanne Briet]], [[Emanuel Goldberg]], [[Lodewyk Bendikson]], and [[Robert Pagès]], drawing renewed attention to European documentation traditions.

Recognized as a leading figure in Neo-Documentation, Buckland is a frequent presenter at the Document Academy (where in [http://doi.org/10.35492/docam/12/2/25 2025] he presented on this very project, the Biographical Dictionary of Documentation and Information). His work has been funded by the [https://ecai.org/mellon2010/ A.W. Mellon] and [https://ecai.org/KnowledgeUnix/ Coleman Fung] foundations, the National Science Foundation, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to advance Information Science research.

'''Marcia J. Bates''' (born 1942) is a Professor Emerita of information studies at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies. She is widely published in the field of information science and focuses much of her research on information retrieval systems and information seeking behavior. In addition to the [[ASIST Award of Merit|ASIS&T Award of Merit]] (2005), Bates received the Best JASIS Paper Award (1980, 2000).

== Life ==

Marcia Jeanne Bates was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA in 1942. She moved frequently during her childhood and completed high school in Lafayette, California.[https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv996637] After receiving a B.A. (Phi Beta Kappa) at Pomona College (Claremont, California), Bates was a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English as a Foreign Language in Thailand for two years. She then studied librarianship at the University of California, Berkeley where she received an MLS in 1967 and a PhD in 1972.

== Contributions ==
Bates joined the faculty of the University of Maryland (1972-1976), and then the University of Washington (1976-1981), where she received tenure. In 1981 she accepted a promotion at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she taught until 2004. Bates has also been a professional consultant to numerous organizations (including the Library of Congress, Council on Library and Information Resources, and American Chemical Society) in government, foundations, businesses, and technology start-ups.

Bates' early work dealt with searching success and failure in library catalogs, and her articles on information search tactics, that is, techniques and heuristics for improving retrieval success in information systems, gained traction in the field. In conjunction with the Getty Research Institute and other Getty agencies, Bates studied humanities information seeking online, producing six articles. In the area of subject access she designed and argued for a "cluster thesaurus" that would bring together all the syntactic and semantic variants of a concept under each concept, [https://doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1097-4571(198611)37:6%3C357::AID-ASI1%3E3.0.CO;2-H in 1985]. Bates argues for an evolutionary approach to the development of human and animal information and knowledge.[https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.20369] Many of Bates' subsequent contributions have been in the area of user-centered information system design; articles on her concepts of "berrypicking," "information search tactics," and the "cascade of interactions" in the user-system interface have been widely cited and used. In 2016, Bates collected forty of her previously published articles and published three volumes called ''Selected Works of Marcia J. Bates'' ([https://www.asist.org/meetings-events/webinars/the-heart-of-the-information-professions-what-motivates-our-field/ 2017 ASIST Webinar])''.''

Dr. Bates was Editor-in-Chief of the seven-volume ''Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences, 3rd Ed.'', with Mary Niles Maack, Associate Editor.

'''Marcia J. Bates''' (born 1942) is a Professor Emerita of information studies at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies. She is widely published in the field of information science and focuses much of her research on information retrieval systems and information seeking behavior. In addition to the [[ASIST Award of Merit|ASIS&T Award of Merit]] (2005), Bates received the Best JASIS Paper Award (1980, 2000).

== Life ==

Marcia Jeanne Bates was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA in 1942. She moved frequently during her childhood and completed high school in Lafayette, California.[https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv996637] After receiving a B.A. (Phi Beta Kappa) at Pomona College (Claremont, California), Bates was a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English as a Foreign Language in Thailand for two years. She then studied librarianship at the University of California, Berkeley where she received an MLS in 1967 and a PhD in 1972.

== Contributions ==
Bates joined the faculty of the University of Maryland (1972-1976), and then the University of Washington (1976-1981), where she received tenure. In 1981 she accepted a promotion at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she taught until 2004. Bates has also been a professional consultant to numerous organizations (including the Library of Congress, Council on Library and Information Resources, and American Chemical Society) in government, foundations, businesses, and technology start-ups.

Bates' early work dealt with searching success and failure in library catalogs, and her articles on information search tactics, that is, techniques and heuristics for improving retrieval success in information systems, gained traction in the field. In conjunction with the Getty Research Institute and other Getty agencies, Bates studied humanities information seeking online, producing six articles. In the area of subject access she designed and argued for a "cluster thesaurus" that would bring together all the syntactic and semantic variants of a concept under each concept, [https://doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1097-4571(198611)37:6%3C357::AID-ASI1%3E3.0.CO;2-H in 1985]. Bates argues for an evolutionary approach to the development of human and animal information and knowledge.[https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.20369] Many of Bates' subsequent contributions have been in the area of user-centered information system design; articles on her concepts of "berrypicking," "information search tactics," and the "cascade of interactions" in the user-system interface have been widely cited and used. In 2016, Bates collected forty of her previously published articles and published three volumes called ''Selected Works of Marcia J. Bates'' ([https://www.asist.org/meetings-events/webinars/the-heart-of-the-information-professions-what-motivates-our-field/ 2017 ASIST Webinar])''.''

Dr. Bates was Editor-in-Chief of the seven-volume ''Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences, 3rd Ed.'', with Mary Niles Maack, Associate Editor. In addition to library and information science, the encyclopedia covers archival science, museum studies, informatics, records management, knowledge management, and bibliography, as well as cognate disciplines, such as communication studies, decision sciences, epistemology, rhetoric, semiotics, and technical writing.

Buchanans: Contributed by Sarah Buchanan Fall 2025 course students

[[File:B.C.Brookes.jpg|alt=B. C. Brookes|thumb|B. C. Brookes]]
'''B.C. Brookes''' (February 7, 1910 - June 10, 1991 in London) was a British statistician and information scientist. For years he was a leading scholar in exploring quantitative aspects of information phenomena, particularly information retrieval, the aging of scientific literature, and the foundations and philosophy of information science.

He was also noteworthy for his nurturing of students and professionals.

== Life ==
Bertram Claude ("Bertie") Brookes was born February 7, 1910. He studied physics at Oxford University, and served in the Royal Air Force and the Ministry of Supply (Great Britain) during World War II.

== Contributions ==
Brookes published his first fundamental work on the Bradford distribution (Bradford's Law) in 1968 and continued examining bibliometric distributions for many years.

He was appointed lecturer in the presentation of technical information at University College London in 1947 where he worked until 1968, when he became Reader (comparable to professor in the US) in information science.[https://doi.org/10.1177/016555159101700407] He retired in 1977.

Subsequently, he was a visiting professor at the University of Western Ontario, and, from 1984 until his death in 1991, at City University London. He died in London on June 10, 1991.

__NOINDEX__

'''Michael Buckland''' (born 1941) is an information scientist and emeritus professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information. He makes significant contributions to the history of information science and documentation, theoretical foundations of information, library services, and bibliography. In addition to the [[ASIST Award of Merit|ASIS&T Award of Merit]] (2012), Buckland received the "Best JASIST Paper Overall" Award (2017) for "Information as Thing," published in 1991.

== Life ==

Michael Keeble Buckland was born on November 23, 1941 in Wantage and raised in London, Staffordshire, and Stoke-on-Trent, England. After studying history at the University of Oxford, he began his library career as a trainee at the Bodleian Library. He received his professional qualification in librarianship from the University of Sheffield in 1965 and joined the staff of the University of Lancaster Library the same year, one year after the university was founded. From 1967 to 1972, he was responsible for the University of Lancaster Library Research Unit, where a series of studies were conducted on book usage, book availability, and library management simulations.[https://doi.org/10.1108/jd-05-2024-272]

In 1972, Buckland received his Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield. His doctoral dissertation, ''Library Stock Control'', was later published as ''Book Availability and the Library User'' (Pergamon, 1975).

== Contributions ==
In 1972, Buckland moved to the United States to Purdue University Libraries, where he was assistant director of libraries for technical services. In 1976, he joined the former School of Librarianship at UC Berkeley as Dean and served in the role until 1984. During his service, he oversaw the school’s transition to the School of Library and Information Studies. From 1983 to 1987, he served as assistant vice president for library plans and policies for the nine campuses of the University of California. In 1988, he returned to the school as a professor. At Berkeley his courses taught included Indexing and Vocabulary, Concepts of Information Management, Classification and Bibliographical Representation, Design of Library Services, and Access to American Cultural Heritages. From 1991 to 2025, he co-hosted his Information Access Seminar series with [[Clifford Lynch]] every Friday afternoon. He became emeritus professor in 2004 and has been a visiting professor in Austria, Australia and Sweden. Since 2000 he serves as '''co-director of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative'''.

Buckland is one of the most heavily cited authors in library and information science, and his scholarship spans over 50 years. Among his most influential contributions to information science is his reconceptualization of information itself, published in his seminal 1991 paper "Information as Thing". Closely related is his 1997 paper, "What is a Document?", which draws on the work of Suzanne Briet and expands the concept of documents beyond traditional textual materials. His publications, including five books, highlight the influence of pioneers, including [[Suzanne Briet]], [[Emanuel Goldberg]], [[Lodewyk Bendikson]], and [[Robert Pagès]], drawing renewed attention to European documentation traditions.

Recognized as a leading figure in Neo-Documentation, Buckland is a frequent presenter at the Document Academy (where in [http://doi.org/10.35492/docam/12/2/25 2025] he presented on this very project, the Biographical Dictionary of Documentation and Information). His work has been funded by the [https://ecai.org/mellon2010/ A.W. Mellon] and [https://ecai.org/KnowledgeUnix/ Coleman Fung] foundations, the National Science Foundation, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to advance Information Science research.

'''Cyril Cleverdon''' (September 9, 1914 – December 4, 1997) was a British librarian and computer scientist who is best known for his work on the evaluation of information retrieval systems.

== Life ==

Cyril Cleverdon was born in Bristol, England in 1914. He worked at the Bristol Libraries from 1932 to 1938, and from 1938 to 1946 he was the librarian of the Engine Division of the Bristol Aeroplane Co. Ltd.

== Career Contributions ==
In 1946 he was appointed librarian of the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield (later the Cranfield Institute of Technology and Cranfield University), where he served until his retirement in 1979, the last two years as professor of Information Transfer Studies. He joined and later was elected the council chairman of the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureau (Aslib) in 1957.

With National Science Foundation funding, Cleverdon started a series of projects in 1957 that lasted for about 10 years in which he and his colleagues set the stage for information retrieval research. The '''Cranfield''' '''Experiments''' were conducted on test databases in a controlled, laboratory-like setting. The aim of the research was to improve the retrieval effectiveness of information retrieval systems, by developing better indexing languages and methods. Cleverdon's approach formed a blueprint for the successful Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) series that began in 1992.

Not only did Cleverdon's Cranfield studies introduce experimental research into computer science, the outcomes of the project also established the basis of the automatic indexing as done in today's search engines. Essentially, Cleverdon found that the use of single terms from the documents achieved the best retrieval performance, as opposed to manually assigned thesaurus terms, synonyms, etc. Cleverdon’s most well-known studies were Cranfield 1 and Cranfield 2.

Cyril Cleverdon also ran, for many years, the Cranfield conferences, which provided a major international forum for discussion of ideas and research in information retrieval. This function was taken over by the SIGIR conferences in the 1970s. Later publications by Cleverdon also focused on information retrieval. A paper in 1972, “On the Inverse Relationship of Recall and Precision” focused on how the number of citations created in turn decreases the number of useful citations available.

Marta Leszeli Dosa was born in Szekszard, Hungary on May 20, 1923. She earned bachelor's and master’s degrees from Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Budapest in 1943 and 1944. She was an award-winning poet and published three books in Hungarian. During World War II, Dosa left her home country to escape the Russian occupation of Hungary. After living in several places in Europe, including West Germany, Dosa, her husband, and their young son immigrated to the United States through an international refugee program in 1951.

Dosa received her M.L.S. from Syracuse University in 1957. After her degree, Dosa served as government documents librarian at Syracuse until 1960, when she became the librarian for mathematics and metallurgy.[https://library.syracuse.edu/digital/guides_sua/html/sua_dosa_m.htm] Dosa began teaching at the School of Library Science in 1961 and officially joined the faculty one year later. Dosa became an Assistant Professor in 1966, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1971, and Professor in 1976. She also received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1971. Later she published a book based on her dissertation, which focused on the German librarian Georg Leyh.

She was married to Joseph Dosa (1913 - 1965), an attorney who graduated from Syracuse University Law School and was a librarian at Syracuse University from 1958 to 1965, when he died.[https://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com/post/49940732457/marta-l-dosa] Upon Joseph's passing, a memorial scholarship fund for Syracuse library science students was established in his honor by [https://bpmsyr.org/scholarships-awards/dosa-scholarship/ Beta Phi Mu]. When Marta retired, the Joseph and Marta Dosa Scholarship Fund was renamed to include her as well. The couple had one son, Joseph D. Dosa (1949 - [https://obits.syracuse.com/us/obituaries/syracuse/name/joseph-dosa-obituary?id=25944710 2012]), and three granddaughters: Nadine, Jolene, and Martine.

Dr. Dosa retired in 1996. She died at age 91 on January 8, 2015 in Syracuse, NY.

== Contributions ==
Dosa taught the first graduate class on Environmental Information. Her other courses taught at Syracuse included international information policy, gerontological information, development of library resources, and government information, and she also served as an adjunct faculty member at SUNY’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry (Syracuse, NY). She earned the moniker “international pied piper” by her colleagues[https://surface.syr.edu/ischool_newsletter/2/] for her extensive consultancies, travels, and studies conducted with such organizations as the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Sierra Club’s International Division, and the Center for Environmental Information. She traveled to Central and South America, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and Africa for student recruitment.[https://surface.syr.edu/ischool_newsletter/19/]

[[File:Griffith-586x1024.gif|thumb|Belver C. Griffith]]
'''Belver C. Griffith''' (1931-1999) was an American information scientist. Working with Howard D. White, Griffith created the co-citation of authors methodological technique.

== Life ==
Belver Callis Griffith was born on March 28, 1931, in Hampton, Virginia. He earned a BA in psychology at the University of Virginia, 1948-1951, then at the University of Connecticut he received an MA (1953) and PhD (1957) in psychology.

In the early 1960s, Griffith examined scientific information exchange in the field of psychology as part of a research project with the American Psychological Association. Since then he mainly worked on the quantitative analysis of scientific communication, bibliometrics, scientometrics and scientific communication. In 1969, Griffith became a professor at the School of Library and Information Science at Drexel University in Philadelphia. In the 1970s he collaborated with Henry G. Small at the Institute for Scientific Information on co-citations as a means of analyzing formal structures and as a complement to the informal social structure in science. Together they published a number of important papers on co-citation analysis. He also co-authored with Howard D. White and others.

Griffith was married to Carolyn Adams, with whom he had three daughters: Caitlin, Wynne and Leigh. He died on October 23, 1999 in Philadelphia.

== Life ==
Griffiths was born in 1952 in Isleworth, Middlesex, England. Griffiths' maternal grandfather was active in the Dutch Resistance during World War II, and her father served in the British Army. She grew up in London with her two brothers and sister. She is fluent in Dutch and French, and played competitive netball, tennis, and field hockey.[https://dsu.edu/_files/mag-archive/2015_University_Magazine.pdf]

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) in Physics with Honours (1973 - one of just three women) and a PhD in Information Science from University College, London (1977). She also taught at Queen's University Belfast. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Computer Science and Statistics at University College, London, and in 2016 was awarded an Honorary degree in Science by the same institution.

Griffiths immigrated to the United States after graduate school to build a research career, when she was recruited by UC Berkeley to be a visiting professor of Information Science. Within one year, she was recruited by King Research, Inc. where she contributed to commercial projects developing information systems for state and Federal agencies. She served as '''Vice President for King Research, Inc.'''

Griffiths married Donald Ward King (July 18, 1932 - November 17, 2019), a world-renowned statistician and information science pioneer.[https://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2020/01/01/obituary-donald-ward-king/] Griffiths has one daughter and five stepdaughters, and several grandchildren.[https://sdexcellence.org/Dr._Jose'-Marie_Griffiths_2023]

== Contributions ==
Griffiths was invited by the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to be their first Collaborating Scientist in Information Science. The position was shared with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she served for a time as a professor in the School of Information Sciences before moving into academic administration.

She served as lead or key personnel for projects with major corporations such as AT&T, Bell Laboratories, Eastman Kodak, Johnson and Johnson, and IBM, and with over 28 U.S. Federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, NASA, NIH, and U.S. intelligence agencies. She has received U.S. Presidential appointments to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (1996 to 2003, President Clinton), the Information Technology Advisory Committee (2005, President Bush) and the National Science Board (2006 to 2012), the governing board for the National Science Foundation. Dr. Griffiths has testified before Congress and served on several blue-ribbon panels and committees for Federal agencies.

Among other positions she served as Vice President for Academic Affairs (Bryant University in Rhode Island, 2010-2015), Dean of the School of Information and Library Science (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2004-2009), Doreen E. Boyce Chair in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh (2001-2004), Chief Information Officer (University of Michigan, 1996-2001), and Director of the School of Information Sciences (1992-1996) and Vice-Chancellor (University of Tennessee-Knoxville, 1994-1996).

Her selection as Dakota State University's 23rd President was announced by the South Dakota Board of Regents on April 27, 2015. Griffiths called DSU "the MIT of the Plains States" in an interview that year.[https://dsu.edu/_files/mag-archive/2015_University_Magazine.pdf] In the role she has created millions of dollars in public/private partnerships for the university, resulting in new building construction, a complete institutional rebrand, and a cyber-research initiative with a workforce development pipeline and a research hub in two locations within the state. The university became recognized as a Consultant Cyber Defense Regional Resource Center, responsible for setting standards and providing leadership for cyber security education and research in 11 states and over 35 universities. Griffiths announced in October 2025 that she would transition to the new role of Chancellor at DSU at the end of the 2025-26 academic year.[https://news.sd.gov/news?id=news_kb_article_view&sys_id=3dbdbbf31b98fa90f6142062f54bcb82]

Jeffrey Katzer

2026-04-27T13:24:15Z

Buchanans:

'''Jeffrey Katzer''' (1942 - March 4, 2000) was an American librarian who served as professor, associate dean, and dean at Syracuse University. Katzer was instrumental in establishing the undergraduate program in Information management and technology, the first such program nationwide, as well as raising Syracuse to national prominence in the field of library science. Katzer developed the Syracuse University Psychological Abstracts Retrieval Service (SUPARS), a pre-internet search engine consisting of over 35,000 individual items.

== Life ==
Katzer graduated with a B.S. and M.A. from Pennsylvania State College. He received a Ph.D. in Communication, dissertation titled "A Theoretical Model of Human Language Processing", from Michigan State University in 1970.[https://onthebanks.msu.edu/Object/162-565-988/commencement-program-1970/]

Katzer was married to his wife Linda, and they had two children, Andrew and Jill.

== Contributions ==
Katzer joined the Syracuse University faculty in 1968, and after one year in the School of Education, joined the School of Library Service in 1969.[https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED425705.pdf] At Syracuse, Katzer spearheaded the formation of both the doctoral program in Information Science, and the undergraduate program in information management and technology--the first of its kind in the country. He served as Ph.D. program director and was twice appointed interim dean of the School of Information Studies. Katzer also served as a consultant to organizations including Southwestern Bell, the U.S. Department of State, and UNESCO.

His courses taught included statistics and research methods. His research examined leadership and change in organizations; the information behaviors of managers; and the effects of the Information Age on work, international competitiveness and society.[https://asist-archive.ischool.illinois.edu/sigmetrics/2000-March/000083.html] He presented the national teleworkshop "Research in School Library Media" with Dr. Michael B. Eisenberg to 41 sites in the U.S. and Canada on March 5, 1993.[https://faculty.washington.edu/mbe/cv.php]

In 1969, Katzer and his colleague [[Pauline Atherton Cochrane|Pauline Atherton]] designed the Syracuse University Psychological Abstracts Retrieval Service (SUPARS). This project functioned as a proto-internet search engine, indexing 35,000 issues from the American Psychological Association’s ''Psychological Abstracts''. SUPARS hardware consisted of a printing computer terminal connected to an IBM 360 mainframe. Two unique aspects (at the time) of SUPARS were the ability to search text within documents and the capacity to save previous searches. Among other sources, SUPARS received research funding from the U.S. Air Force.[https://aeon.co/essays/the-1970s-librarians-who-revolutionised-the-challenge-of-search]

Katzer is the namesake of two awards bestowed annually at Syracuse University: the Jeffrey Katzer Undergraduate Professor of the Year Award and the Jeffrey Katzer Doctoral Student Advancement Fund. These honors recognize the professor and Ph.D. student who best exemplify the values and ideals of Katzer.[https://ischool.syracuse.edu/alumni-and-friends/giving-opportunities/]
