Research Agenda
Prior to becoming an administrator, my research agenda
focused upon applying information technology to reference service.
Since becoming an administrator, my agenda has focused upon
information technology policy and planning in universities,
libraries, and library and information studies education. I am
particularly interested in the administrative structure for
managing information resources in the University, the choice
information resource format in university collections, and the
information infrastructure needed to support library and
information studies education.
My writing has entirely been devoted to administrative and
service writing within the University. Substantial portions of two
Committee reports were based upon documents written by me for the
committees. The reports are from the Information Resources 2000
Taskforce and the Graduate Council’s Ad Hoc Committee on
Information Technology and Distance Learning. Since then I
have published several articles concerning University Information
Resources and our Academic Computing Initiative. Most of
these have been St. John's publications.
