She holds a doctorate in library science and is the founder of the index and thesaurus development company, JELEM.To create the Biocomplexity Thesaurus, Dr. Milstead merged, vetted, and reconciled the terminology in five large existing thesauri plus one smaller specialty thesaurus collectively covering the biological, environmental, aquatic, ecotourism, and sociological sciences.
