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/]		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 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.
