Academic Interests

I am interested in how people recognize that they need information, set about retrieving information they need, learn from- or don’t learn from- information they retrieve, and apply that information within various social, legal and ethical contexts- a set of behaviors and related skills collectively known as [information literacy]. I am also interested in [instructional design] and [pedagogy] that helps develop skills, attitudes, and values that support information literacy and in the developing role of social networking in [scholarly communication.]
