The Board of the Canadian Association for Information
Science (CAIS) is
pleased to announce that the new editor of the Canadian
Journal of
Information and Library Science (CJILS) is Dr. Heidi Julien
of the
University of Alberta. Heidi will take up her new role as of
Jan. 1st, 2008.
At this point, we would like to thank the outgoing editor,
Dr. Lynne
McKechnie, for her five years of excellent editorial
leadership and vision,
and at the same time, we would like to welcome Heidi to her
new role.
Dr. Julien is an Associate Professor in the School of
Library and
Information Studies at the University of Alberta. She
teaches and does
research in the areas of human information behaviour and
information
literacy. Her research has been funded consistently by the
Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council of Canada. In 2006 she was a
Research Fellow
with the Canadian Centre for Research on Literacy at the
University of
Alberta. Dr. Julien has been actively involved in CAIS/ACSI
for over a
decade. She was program chair for the CAIS/ACSI annual
conference in 2004,
and has served on the program committee for many years. She
served on the
CAIS/ACSI Board as President in 2001. In addition, Dr.
Julien has served on
the Board of the Association for Library and Information
Science Education
(ALISE), and chaired SIG USE in the American Association for
Information
Science and Technology. Dr. Julien is an active manuscript
reviewer for many
journals, and has served on the CJILS Editorial Board since
2002. She also
edited the "Research News" column for CJILS for
three years. Recently she
revived the ALISE newsletter as an important service to the
ALISE
membership.
We are all very much looking forward to Heidi's editorial
direction of the
journal and her plans for its improvement and ongoing
development over
the next several years.
