Statement of Research Interests & Experience

My research experience covers a wide variety of interests in both my business career and my academic career. While working in the software industry, I conducted proprietary research in the areas of process analysis, facilities and space allocation, time management, products, markets and productivity. In my academic career, I have conducted research primarily in the area of school library media centers focusing on technology and electronic resources. I am conducting on-going research into the impact of state and federal funding of electronic resources through statewide digital or virtual library mechanisms. Additionally, I conduct research about distance education in library and information science, specifically topics related to the San Jose State University experience. I have consulted with vendors about providing access to electronic resources and how organizations make decisions about the purchase and use of these resources. Throughout my research, I stress the need to connect theoretical models with applied practice to address the constantly changing challenges in libraries and information organizations.

Possible PhD Thesis Topic Area

• Distance education in library and information science
• Measurement and productivity of automated library systems
