Her consulting business was established in 1998 to advise institutions, organizations, and individuals regarding current copyright matters and emerging copyright issues, particularly the application of copyright in the digital environment. She is the author of Demystifying Copyright: A researcher's guide to copyright in Canadian libraries and archives.
