over many years. In addition, Gary set up the current system of SIGCHI
mailing lists. Gary served on the SIGCHI Curriculum Development Group

telecommutes as a Consulting Research Scientist at OCLC Online Computer
Library Center, from Montreal, Canada where his focus there is on the
design of useful and usable web-based bibliographic and full text
retrieval tools.
