Dr. Allen Foster převzal pozici přednášejícího na katedře Informačních studií na Univerzitě ve Walesu, konkrétně v Aberystwyrthu v roce 2002. Přednáší na témata jako informační gramotnost, informační výzkum/hledání (information retrieval) a výzkumné metody. Kromě těchto témat se věnuje jak výzkumu, tak i co se týče učení tématům jako uživatel a systémy, s velkou pozornost9 na interdisciplinaritu. Jeho zájem zahrnuje modelování mezivztahů mezi těmito oblastmi a informační architektura webu X sociální technologie. Celkem mu bylo uveřejněno 12 publikací, z čehož jsou dvě knihy a deset odborných článků.
