Moving from vision to reality
IT ’ S THRILLING TO SEE TRANSFORMATION
come to pass! The FIS Academic Plan has started
to move from vision to reality.
As described on page 4, five tremendous faculty
members join FIS this year: Stephen Hockema,
Jens-Erik Mai, David Phillips, Siobhan Stevenson
and Nadine Wathen. All are excellent scholars,
highly committed, and wonderfully collegial. They
will substantially increase the international visibility
of the Faculty, and add immeasurably to FIS’
progressive energy. I am delighted to welcome
them all, and hope you all have an early opportunity
to meet them.
Welcome also to another new faculty member,
Lynne Teather, who joins us as part of the transfer of
the Museum Studies Program to FIS. This hugely
important development has been under discussion
for more than ten years (for details, see article on
p. 5). It is especially significant because, in conjunction
with the move, we were able to obtain funding
to hire two new faculty members in this area (the
top recommendation of numerous reviews of
Museum Studies). So look forward to more new faculty
announcements next year!
In May, I attended a Canada-United States
Dialogue on Digital Heritage, which focused on
educating the next generation of information professionals.
Leader after leader of major cultural
institutions in both countries voiced grave concern
that, due to deep-seated institutional and personal
inertia, we are entering the Digital Era without adequate
preparation in virtually all areas of cultural
stewardship. While extremely sobering, the conference
nevertheless validated the directions in which
FIS is moving. We have an amazing opportunity by
combining libraries, archives, and museums under
(literally) one roof.
In addition to these announcements, we’ve
secured funding to develop our efforts in health
informatics, in collaboration with the Department
of Health, Policy, Management and Evaluation
(HPME) in the Faculty of Medicine at the University
of Toronto. Two more faculty members will be hired
in this area, shared by HPME and FIS. Nadine
Wathen is already working with HPME and other
University partners to expand our programs into the
health sector (on which we haven’t been able to
focus since the departure of Joanne Marshall in
1998). Three new courses on health information
practices appear on our 2006-07 timetable. Every
issue in information studies arises in the medical
context, so it is terrific that we’re able to develop in
this area — and that Nadine Wathen can help us lead
the way.
Many more changes are ahead. This Fall we
embark on a major curriculum review to explore
how best to share foundations and yet appropriately
differentiate our various programs. Big research
plans are afoot, and we simply must do something
about space (we are running out of room in the
Bissell Building). We will also be submitting formal
plans for student enrolment expansion. And we
want to continue faculty searches in core areas.
For this and other news, keep an eye on our new
website: it is definitely a work in progress, but is now
based on a content-management system that allows
us to keep you up to date on the latest developments.
Welcome to a new academic year!

FISAA President’s Message
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR when we get into “back
to school” mode – whether we’re taking classes or
not! Your Alumni Association is the same. We have
a new executive with fresh ideas and a commitment
to keeping you up to speed on the exciting developments
within our Faculty.
Your 2006/2007 executive includes: President:
Karen Wierucki (MLS ’80); Past President: Kim
Wachta (MISt ’97); Vice-President: Claire Lysnes
(MISt ’04); Treasurer: Helen Katz (MLS ’75);
Secretary: Cynthea Penman (MLS ’79); and the following
Directors: Susan Gratsaris (MISt ’01), Bob
Henderson (MLS ’75), Yasmin Khan (MISt ’02),
Rafi Majeed (MISt ’03), Roula Panopoulos (MISt
’99), Wiebke Smythe (MLS ’97) and Alison
Stirling (MISt ’06). This year’s student representative
is Hyun-Duck Chung.
This past June was particularly busy, as FISAA
hosted three events that many of you enjoyed. The
first was our well-attended spring reunion on June 1,
which was followed by our graduation reception for
the Class of 2006 on June 12, at which we presented
the FISAA Student Jubilee Award to Liana
Giovando (MISt ’06). The final event was our first
alumni reception in Ottawa, held in conjunction
with the CLA conference. It’s amazing the stories
you hear and the laughter that ensues when you
A
T
THE STRETCH PROJECT, a special exhibition
held at FIS this past spring (see story on
p. 6), I was particularly fascinated by one of the displays.
The piece was a huge “quilt” created with interactive
squares: on one were flowers you could actually
smell, while another featured a three-dimensional
image you could touch. The most startling square
had an eye painted on it and as you looked closer,
you could see a small camera lens imbedded in the
pupil. As you backed away, you realized another
square was in fact a small television screen showing
the image of the viewer.
I was reminded of that quilt when the editorial
board began planning this issue of INFORMED.
Our greatest hope is that this publication mirrors
the very essence of FIS: the people, the research,
and the vision of the Faculty.
As you see from these pages, things have gotten
even busier since the publication of our last issue in
December 2005. FIS is particularly proud to
announce the hiring of five new faculty members and
bring alumni, great food and strong drink together!
I want be the first to welcome Museum Studies
alumni to the FIS community. We want to work closely
with you to reflect your interests in our programming:
imagine the opportunities with LAMs - libraries,
archives and museums – and information systems and
accessibility experts under one academic “roof.”
Over the next year we will continue to offer the
initiatives you support, including the popular job
shadowing program, alumni teas, special lectures,
and events like the Alternative Careers Panel
Discussion which attracted both alumni and students
from the FIS community this past March.
Alumni are represented on FIS Council by Claire
Lysnes and Rafi Majeed, and there may be times
when they will ask for your valued opinions on
issues like curriculum, recruitment and continuing
education. Your ideas for new initiatives and events
are always welcome. Please contact me anytime at
alumni@fis.utoronto.ca.
I invite you to visit the FIS website for FISAA and
FIS community updates: www.fis.utoronto.ca. You
can also sign up to receive our monthly alumni
e-newsletter by sending your e-mail address to:
alumni@fis.utoronto.ca.
I look forward to connecting with many of you at
upcoming FISAA events.
Editor’s Message: Reflecting FIS
the arrival of the Museum Studies
Program. We hope you will take a
moment to read the articles on these
two important developments.
The editorial board is also
delighted to have received an
increased number of contributions
to the Alumni Updates section of
this issue. Over time we hope to
have even more news to share; there
is even talk of further developing
the FIS website so alumni can submit
updates online. Of course, we will keep you
posted about such changes.
We invite all our readers to send their comments
and suggestions.
If INFORMED is to be a true reflection of the
Faculty of Information Studies’ community, we
need your help!
Enjoy the issue and we wish you a wonderful
autumn.

information. i-schools are unique because faculty
members have degrees from various fields of study
and research, which facilitates inter- or multi-disciplinary
approaches to the problems they study. FIS
has long been a leader in the information world; the
i-school movement provides a framework to take
FIS to the next level.
What will you teach at FIS?
I will continue to teach in the areas of classification,
indexing, and design of controlled vocabularies.

supported by FIS through a grant from the Stepping Up
Academic Initiatives Fund and by the SSHRC-funded
Information Policy Research Program’s Digital Identity
Construction project (www.fis.utoronto.ca/research/
iprp). Both were highly successful events.
The public forum on Canadian Biometric ID
Documents (June 15) began with presentations by
panel members, followed by a question and comment
period. The panel consisted of experts from
Treasury Board, the Office of the Privacy
Commissioner of Canada, Privacy International, and
the advanced card technology industry. The forum
also included a live, interactive webcast and was

The Information Rights and Organizational
Accountabilities Workshop (June 16-17) was a closed
event that drew together researchers from five SSHRCfunded
projects with leading civil society advocates
working in the area of information rights, including
privacy, access to information, copyright, and
free/open source software. Some of the topics covered
were smart borders, access to information and
community networking, lawful access, digital rights
management, and privacy activism. The main goal of
the conference was to foster connections between
participants, with a focus on developing strategies for
ameliorating and encouraging public debate on issues
of information rights.

Museum Studies joins the FIS Family
TWO YEARS OF STUDY AND CONSULTATION on the future of graduate
programs at the University of Toronto have resulted in a landmark
development at FIS: on June 29, the University’s Governing Council
approved a motion to transfer the Museum Studies Program to the
Faculty, effective July 1, 2006. The move provides an extraordinary opportunity
for cooperative efforts on the future of libraries, archives and museums,
and means that the Faculty is now home to two professional Master’s
degree programs: a Master’s of Information Studies (MISt), and a Master’s
of Museum Studies (MMSt).
Discussions for the transfer of
the program were originally
proposed as a recommendation
of the 2004-2005 Graduate
Studies Review Committee and
were based on the fact that the
collective future of libraries,
archives, and museums was
identified as a key priority in the
2004–10 FIS Academic Plan.
In making the formal
announcement, Dean Brian
Cantwell Smith outlined the history and aims of the
Museum Studies Program, noting that it was launched in
1969 to provide students with a strong theoretical background
and professional understanding of museum origins,
ideologies, changing philosophies and current practices.
The curriculum explores the manner in which art
and artifacts are acquired, stored and conserved, catalogued,
documented, managed and exhibited. Museum communications,
audiences and outreach, and the management of institutions and people
are also explored. He noted that the Program also provides students with
a comprehensive knowledge of the function of museums in their broader
social and cultural context and a methodology for research.
In conjunction with the move,
FIS received funding from the
University’s Academic Initiative
Fund (AIF) which will permit
Museum Studies to expand its program
and rationalize resources in
innovative ways. These include
implementing the first PhD program
in anglophone Canada, and
the integration of the program’s
Resource Centre with the Inforum.
For students, the move means
increased interaction with faculty
and fellow students in related studies,
providing a unique opportunity
for the exchange of ideas and the
development of new alliances.
Museum Studies will continue
to offer the awards supported by
feature | informed
the Vivian and David Campbell Family Foundation Summer Training
Fellowships and the Rebanks Family Fellowships which provide valuable
training for students. The second-year project to curate an exhibition will
remain a key component of the program. The 2006 exhibit, entitled
“Collecting Curiosities: The World in One Room” was curated by students
in collaboration with the University of Toronto Art Centre. The
exhibition featured items garnered from a wide variety of public and private
donors, and examined the origins of the artifacts and their influential
role in establishing the foundations
of today’s museums.
John Fleming, Interim Director
of Museum Studies from 2004
to 2006 said the union would
improve the Museum Program “in
all possible ways,” ensuring that its
graduates “will become the primary
sources in Canada for museum/gallery
professionals at all levels
across the country.”
Professor Wendy Duff was
appointed Interim Director of the
Program for the coming year. She
noted “Museum Studies’ move to
FIS will provide a exciting opportunity
for the students and faculty
to gain a greater understanding of
the theory and practice of related
disciplines.”
In welcoming the Program to FIS, Dean Cantwell Smith cited the
Museum Program as one of the University’s great assets, noting that museology
is “an ideal complement to the Faculty’s heritage strengths in libraries
and archives,” and inviting each and every member of the FIS community
to participate in this collaboration, as we forge an exciting future together.

Change is Afoot
has been a hub of activity these
FIS past six months and FIS Student
Council (FISSC) has been involved in all of
the exciting changes including the hiring
of new professors, the move of Museum
Studies and the introduction of the new
website. We have also experienced our own
share of innovative changes. Here’s a brief
glimpse of what we’ve been working on Annetta Dunn
and what is yet to come.
One of FISSC’s major focuses has been our Web presence.
Following the lead of FIS, FISSC has completely revamped its own
website. Based on Tikiwiki software, the site will be accessible to students
only, and will allow them to search courses, events, and to input
their own comments. It’s an exciting change and one which has been
the hard work of a few dedicated FISSCers since March.
Another FISSC project is Compass, the “must read” for all new students.
Compass is a FISSC publication that contains the compiled
results of student evaluations of FIS courses and instructors from the
preceding year. While the 2004 edition is still useful, with all the
changes in professors FISSC felt a revision was imperative. We hope to
have the new version completed in the coming weeks.
New clubs are on the horizon, including a Children’s Librarian
group and a FIS version of GLBTQ. We will continue many established
groups and activities, including Peer Mentoring, Social
Committee, Professional Development and much more.
Last, but not least, we wish to warmly welcome our compatriots-in-arms,
the Museum Studies Program. We greatly look forward
to working with them in creating programs which will appeal
to all students!
As I said: lots going on, lots to look forward to and an exciting year
ahead for all!
Keep it real, have fun, and read a book!

STRETCH AND CULTURALL
From late May to June 17, the fifth floor
of the FIS building was the site of a rich
display of art and new media works.
Among the featured pieces were ceramic
vases in the shape of mystic characters,
pencil-drawn self-portraits, a video
projecting onto a large quilt, and black
boxes accompanied by Braille labels and
photographs. These works represented
part of two larger projects involving the
Adaptive Technology Resource Centre
and the Museum Studies Program at the
Faculty of Information Studies.
The “Stretch” and “CulturAll” projects
received funding through the Canadian Culture
Online Program of the Department of Canadian
Heritage. Both projects involved secondary school
students, teachers, First Nations artists, artists
with disabilities, and researchers at York, Ryerson
and U of T. The activities were designed to challenge
and stretch conventions within the arts to encourage
the inclusion of diverse communities, including
people with disabilities.
In both real and virtual cultural environments,
people with disabilities often face barriers that
limit or prevent their participation. Obstacles can
include a lack of captioned audio for people who
are hard of hearing or deaf, the absence of
described video for people who are blind or have low
vision, and physical barriers in traditional exhibition
spaces and in the user interface of virtual
exhibits. The persistence of these barriers is testa-

Rhonda McEwen
Why did you choose FIS?
The Dean of the U of T Law School recommended
FIS when I was investigating PhD programs in
Canada. I was looking for a faculty where I could
explore the social aspects of communication technology.
Finding an environment where this type of
interdisciplinary research is supported can be challenging.
FIS is one of the few faculties that encourages
inquiry of this nature.
What are your undergraduate/previous degree(s)?
A BSc in Sociology and Management Studies, an
MBA in Information Technology and an MSc in
Telecommunications.
What are you studying at FIS?
My PhD research involves mobile/wireless communication
technologies (e.g. mobile phones, RFID,
RIM handhelds, WLANs, etc.) and the social issues
arising from the growing pervasiveness of these
technologies. There is a growing body of scholarly
research in this area, but since it is developing so
rapidly, there is a lot to investigate and analyze.
What do you think of the changes in the field of
librarianship/information management in the last
few years? Where do you see this field going?
I generally choose to view change in a positive way.
The changes we are witnessing are in part due to fundamental
transformations in the structure of information
(e.g. digitization, miniaturization, proliferation,
etc.) as well as changes in traditional informing
processes that shape, and reciprocally, are shaped by
society. The librarianship and information management
fields must consider these transformations and
focus on a student | informed

HOMETOWN: TACARIGUA,
TRINIDAD (WEST INDIES)
adapt in a thoughtful way
with them. I believe the
resultant changes will
enrich the academy and
those associated with information
studies. It is an exciting time for us.
As a student, how have you stayed involved at the
Faculty?
I am an active member of the Doctoral Student
Association, and along with my cohorts, I have been
involved with the faculty search at FIS.
What FIS events do you look forward to over the
next year?
I always enjoy the Dean’s Teas and the colloquium
talks but I am especially looking forward to meeting
the new faculty members.
What are you hoping to pursue when you graduate?
Rest…. More seriously, after almost seven years of
consulting I will purse an academic career teaching,
and conducting research in the social and cultural
changes associated with information technologies.
Is there anything you would like to say to FIS alumni?
I would like to thank the alumni who continue to
work with the faculty and students, for their interest
and time. For current students the alumni serve as
examples of what is attainable, and rejuvenate ideas
by bringing perspectives from the “outside.” I
encourage graduating FIS students to become active
members of the alumni to continue the good work.

ment to the continued exclusion of people with disabilities:
they are often overlooked when organizers
are considering the demography of both the “audience”
and the “artist.”
Over the course of the last year, the Stretch
Project (stretch.atrc.utoronto.ca) captured the
imagination, energy and creativity of a broad range
of partners who contributed innovative and creative
digital works on the theme of inclusion.
Videos in the online Stretch collection can be
viewed with captions and/or audio descriptions,
and some include American Sign Language (ASL)
translations for people who are deaf.
In addition to amassing an impressive collection
of accessible digital works, the Stretch project
sparked the imagination of hundreds of secondary
school students across the Greater Toronto Area.
Through a partnership between art and new media
teachers at Ursula Franklin Academy, Vaughan
Secondary School, and Parkdale Collegiate
Institute, and Stretch project participants, more
than 300 students created pieces. Their works were
displayed both at FIS and, in March, at the Design
Exchange in Toronto.
Through the CulturAll Project (culturall.atrc.
utoronto.ca) Stretch participants partnered with
Museum Studies Program representatives to
pull the exhibitions together for both venues.
Participants gained invaluable experience in exhibition
development, increased their awareness of
inclusive universal design principles and discovered
how museum exhibitions and new media projects
might be enhanced for a wider variety of users.
Culturall continues to explore innovative access
solutions until March 2007. Both Stretch and
CulturAll are overseen by Jutta Treviranus, Director
of Adaptive Technology Resource Centre (www.atrc.
utoronto.ca) and research associate at FIS. The
exhibit was designed and installed by Clare-Estelle

Visiting Scholar Program Celebrates
John Adams (BLS ’50)
Professor Patricia Fleming
– January 26, 2006
OVER THE PAST YEAR, a group of colleagues at
the Faculty of Information Studies formed a
committee to create an appropriate tribute to retiring
Professor Patricia Fleming (BLS ‘64, MLS
‘70). Throughout her long teaching career at FIS,
and in her roles as founding
Director of the Collaborative
Program in Book History and Print
Culture, and as Director of the
History of the Book in Canada/
Histoire du livre et de l’imprimé
(HBiC/HLIC) project, Professor
Fleming has been a source of great
pride for the Faculty. In keeping
with her professional interests, the
committee decided to honour her
with the creation of an endowed
Doctoral Scholarship Honours
the Memory of a FIS Legend
The Late Professor
Ethel W. Auster
10 SEPTEMBER 2006
Professor Patricia Fleming
visiting scholar program. The
Patricia Fleming Visiting Fellowship in
Bibliography and Book History, an endowed fund of
$25,000, was established late this spring, thanks to
the support of colleagues, friends, family and many
former students, in Canada and abroad.
The Fleming Visiting Fellowship will exist in perpetuity
to welcome scholars from around the world
to the Faculty for a one-month period. The Fleming
scholar will have access to the resources of the
University of Toronto and will deliver a public lecture
during the term of the fellowship. Every second
year, the fellowship will be awarded
to a scholar whose research focuses
specifically on Canadiana.
Speaking on behalf of the committee,
member Judy Donnelly
(MLS ’87) noted: “Professor
Fleming set high standards for all
of us, as students at FIS and as book
historians, through her enthusiasm,
impeccable teaching and her
meticulous work as a bibliographer.
She has brought Canadian book
history to the international stage as
the director of HBiC/HLIC, a complex
national endeavour which has garnered praise
in Canada and abroad. The fellowship is a most fitting
tribute to Professor Fleming and honours her
through its support of scholarship in book history
and bibliography.”
IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, the Faculty of
Information Studies was pleased to announce the
establishment of the Ethel W. Auster Scholarship
for Doctoral Research. The award was created in
memory of Professor Ethel Auster, who passed away
in 2005 and had made a tremendous impact on
the Faculty during her time here. Working with
the Auster family, the
FIS community has
raised $50,000 since last
November. This enabled
us to activate matching
funds from the provincial
Graduate Student
Endowment Fund, creating
an award that will
generate approximately
$6,000 annually to support
PhD research at
FIS. The award is a fitting
tribute to a cause that was very close to
Professor Auster’s heart.
Her son David and his wife Janis commented:
“FIS was not a job, nor a career for Ethel; it was a
family and way of life. Each student and colleague
was someone she treasured. The scholarship that
has been created in her honour is beyond moving,
it is a way for her spirit and beliefs to continue on
within the community that she cared so deeply
about. It is our belief that Ethel would be pleased
to be recognized in this way, just as she was
pleased each time she helped a student. This tribute
has touched our family deeply and has established
a permanent bond between Ethel’s personal
and professional families. We are grateful to have
this unique opportunity to celebrate her memory.”
The Faculty is honoured to establish this
award, and was thrilled by the groundswell of
support that allowed us to do so within just a few
months.
