Professor Emerita
Barbara Kwasnik

Barbara taught in the areas of organization of information, theory of classification, and information science. Her research interests focused on how classifications intersected with everyday human endeavor – for example, how they are translated from one culture or application to another. Previous research, with professor Kevin Crowston, included investigating whether genre information can help in searching, personal information management, and browsing. She retired in 2018.
