Research Topics and Methods
The research and scholarship I've developed over the course of my career focuses on the librarian as an instructional designer and partner, a role I not only examine, but also apply to my own work as an LIS researcher, by collaborating as much as possible with other researchers and disciplines – broadening the skillset, impact, and reach of the resulting work. The topics I explore are divided into three categories:
  1. The intersection between librarianship and instructional technology – how librarians support the development and application of critical thinking through technology-enabled learning, development, and deployment of digital learning environments;
  2. Instructional partnerships between library and information science professionals and other educators – the ways we prepare LIS professionals to engage in these partnerships, and the librarian's identity as a pedagogue.
  3. Systemic analysis of complex structures and how information architecture can be used to identify and address challenges uncovered.
This award-winning research has been recognized by the Association for Educational Communications & Technology, the American Library Association, the American Association of School Librarians, the International Association of School Librarianship, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
