Tamara began her career as a physicist doing postdoctoral research in elementary particle theory in Hamburg, Germany and Ottawa, Canada. She then obtained the MSc in information Science from City University in 1978 and has been teaching there since 1981 specializing in information law, information policy studies and information provision in the law. To develop her level of legal knowledge, Tamara took a part time Diploma in intellectual property law at Queen Mary, University of London. She has supervised many MSc dissertations and 3 PhD students to completion and she has published widely.
Current teaching has centred on the Information Science and Library and Information Studies masters degrees (Collectively called IS Scheme module routes). The modules are titled ‘Information law and policy’, compulsory on these degrees and also for geographical IS students; and ‘Business and legal information option’ an elective on the IS Scheme degrees.
