My name is Meghan Ecclestone, and I am a Business Librarian at the Peter F. Bronfman Business Library, at York University. I work in the areas of instruction/information literacy, reference, collections development, and liaison work. My areas of specialization include corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, sustainable business, human resources, taxation, and accounting and auditing.
I am currently undertaking research in the area of online web tutorials as a vehicle for information literacy instruction, and have worked throughout the past semester developing online videos to deliver library instruction to a web-based Human Resources course. This semester I will continue my work in this area with more screen casting projects to enhance our online reference and instruction.
Prior to working at York, I was a student at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information, where I kept myself busy by serving as the Professional Development Co-Chair for student council, and by helping to launch a scholarly journal, the Faculty of Information Quarterly. I also gained some professional experience at the Earth Sciences Library, and at the Library of Parliament in Ottawa, ON.
