Michael is a joy to work with-- curious, intellectually engaged, a quick learner, and able to turn ideas into practical products. He brings humor, discipline, and exploration to a group, and invests himself fully in achieving excellence by making everyone successful.

Michael possesses excellent interpersonal and communication skills, values teamwork, provides work of a consistently excellent quality in every project he undertakes, and is passionate about IA/UX.

Michael goes beyond requirements. He's an engaged person seeking to improve things for people.

Michael is a high-energy, humble, super-talented information professional. Michael goes beyond the requirement and really dedicates his time, service, energy, brain power to the task at hand.

Essentially I'd say what I said in previous questions. Also, I think Michael seems to be very easy to get along with, and would be a great team member.

I highly recommend Michael Adcock. It's been a pleasure to have him as a student and now as a colleague.

Michael was enthusiastic about discussing project details with me and helping me to understand more about the projects he was involved in that I could assist him with as well as how he could assist me with my projects. Most of our collaboration during the MLIS program was voluntary, outside of classes, and I continually seek him out for feedback on many of my own projects and presentations because he is honest, discerning, and eager to help his colleagues improve.

Curiosity, intellectual exploration, collaborative work style, receptiveness to feedback, follow-through, cheerfulness.

Michael excelled in just about everything I saw him do-- he was a key organizer for several conferences, he did fantastic work in the class I taught, and the work that he did for his portfolio was superb. He was not afraid to explore new tools and ways of organizing and presenting information, and shared them freely with his colleagues.

Michael is genuinely passionate about his chosen field. He is actively engaged in the professional community here in Seattle and he encourages his colleagues to be involved, as well. He believes in connecting both with users and other members of the profession to create a user-centered culture of collaboration and innovation.

ability to work with others, technical competence, deep understanding of information organization principles, wide variety of software and programming abilities.

Inquisitive, capable, mature, interesting

Michael is an excellent communicator. He is thorough in explaining challenging concepts, which was a great benefit when he was voluntarily assisting me with my implementation of his TiddlyWiki Thesaurus. He also readily listened to my suggestions and concerns regarding the project and helped me modify the tool to better fit my needs.

Michael's enthusiasm, dedication and energy is about, at least, twice of a normal worker. He is really passionate and knowledgeable with information management, user-centered design concept. He can "talk" the tech lingo with a low-keyed demeanor.

You can count on Michael to be there when needed. He helps out other team members and provides good moral support to the rest of the team. Trust, Dependability and Passion.

I can think of no more persistent user-centered researcher. Understanding the core issues for users has been paramount for Michael throughout his coursework.
