Your headline attracted me to this fascinating article. Its good to know that my own career is owed to this ingenious man. I am a 2000 graduate of UM College of Library and Information Science, as it was known at the time, and currently the Director of Library and Archives for SiriusXM. I have been with SiriusXM since 2008. I am a proud Terp and proud as well to work for a great company like SiriusXM. Thank you Robert Briskman and thanks for this great bio.

As a historian of technology at IEEE, it's great to see Robert Briskman's profile, however redacted, and, just as usefully, that a Terp MLS grad is running XM Sirius's archives. One day, scholars will look forward to exploring that, probably about the same time that various agencies can declassify what Briskman was doing in the 1950s and 1960s.
Briskman is also a Life Member of the IEEE who has been deeply involved in various professional activities, and there's a very good oral history with more details of his varied career that he recorded about 18 months ago: https://ethw.org/Oral-History:Robert_Briskman.
