The School of Information Management is pleased to announce that Master of Library and Information Studies student, Domenic Rosati, has been selected as the fourth聽recipient of the聽黄色直播-Horrocks National Leadership Fund.

This Fund was established in 2007 to honour Dr. Norman Horrocks, OC, PhD, FCLIP (1927-2010) for his outstanding leadership in the field of librarianship in North America, Australia, and Europe. Over several decades Dr. Horrocks, former Director of the School of Information Management and Dean of the Faculty of Management at 黄色直播, pursued a distinguished career of very active involvement in professional associations in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Australia, the United States, and Canada. His many contributions, for which he received local, national and international recognition, have advanced the field and the careers of countless individuals.聽The fund supports a scholarship and an associated lecture series through an endowment donated by the many former students, colleagues, friends and admirers of Norman Horrocks.

Domenic Rosati聽is a 2nd year Master of Library and Information Studies student at 黄色直播, with a background in both computer science and history. His main interests concern聽how robust and scalable information systems or processes can be used to聽solve problems or open new avenues of information collection and discovery. In his words: 鈥淭he lifecycle of the digital record looms particularly large in my聽estimation of the future of information management. While I tend to think digitally, archival practice of acquisition, appraisal, arrangement and description are still important to how I view designing information systems. Programming, particularly using JavaScript and Python, tends to be my tool of choice for testing IM concepts.鈥�

Domenic has work experience in various archival and records management settings, and some recent projects include聽collections assessment of born-digital records in the 黄色直播 Archives, the testing and analysis of the Gitbook publishing platform, and the聽implementation of a crowdsourced transcription web application with the Nova Scotia Archives. He is currently working with the 黄色直播 Archives and the International聽Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in order to collect, preserve, and make their records available. When he is聽not working, he enjoys spending time with his聽partner and two kids, and is a voracious聽reader of reference and textbooks.
