"Make time for the simpler pleasures in life"
Joanne Silverstein was an assistant research professor at the iSchool and the director
of research and development for the Information Institute. She was also an alumna
of the M.S. in Information Management program and the Ph.D. in Information Science
and Technology. A dedicated teacher, well-known researcher, and cherished colleague,
Joanne stepped down from active duties in August 2007 to, in her words, "make time
for the simpler pleasures in life and give [her] body and mind the time that it
needs to heal from a chronic illness."
