Background
Thomas W. Slomka directs experience, information and instructional design for digital library projects at the University at Buffalo (UB). His background and expertise is in communication and information design, with particular interests in the intersections between traditional, hybrid and electronic communication patterns. Thom has a goal of advancing teaching, learning and research at UB through the innovative and effective use of information technology. Thom is the Director of Digital Library Center Projects in the UB Libraries and has worked on projects that range from specialized software to enhance the presentation and exploration of still and time-based images to collaboratories designed to create, manage, and display specialized content.
