        Edward T. O'Neill, Ph.D.
        Senior Research Scientist
        <P>My current work focuses on authority control, subject analysis, database quality, preservation, and collection management. I joined the OCLC Research staff as a Senior Research Scientist in 1983, and served as co-acting Director of Research from 1993 until 1994. I did my graduate work at <A href="http://www.purdue.edu/">Purdue University</A> in Operations Research. I was on the faculty of the School of Information and Library Studies at the <A href="http://www.buffalo.edu/">University at Buffalo</A>, and was later Dean of the Matthew A. Baxter School of Library and Information Science at <A href="http://www.cwru.edu/">Case Western Reserve University</A>.</P>
