Statement of Research Interests & Experience

I joined SLIS in the fall of 2007 after receiving the Ph.D. in Library and Information Science at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. My primary area of research interest is information services and use. My research explores how information, users and information experts interact with one another. I'm also interested in education for librarians and information professionals.
