With a background of many years as a practising information specialist, my research interests span diverse areas of digital libraries and hybrid libraries. I have taught on the Undergraduate Human Computer Interaction course and presented many electronic library workshops.
Physical libraries have grown to encompass increasingly complex digital materials - becoming hybrid libraries. Previously I worked on Project MALIBU which investigated hybrid libraries in the Humanities. MALIBU (MAnaging the hybrid LIbrary for the Benefit of Users) was a joint collaboration between King's College London, the University of Southampton and Oxford University. In 2002 I completed a PhD in Resource Discovery for Digital Libraries in which I evaluated the Global Information Gathering Agent GIGA - a tailored tool for searching both the visible and invisible web.
My current project is TARDIS. This
is a joint project within the University of Southampton - between the University
of Southampton libraries, the IAM group in Electronics and Computer Science,
and Information Systems Services. We are building a sustainable multidisciplinary
e-Print archive to leverage the research output of the university. Our work
also gives feedback into the development of the pioneering free EPrints
software as we explore both self-archiving and mediated archive creation as
effective solutions. Some of my recent presentations and papers on e-Prints,
institutional repositories and academic scholarship are shown on the TARDis
web site.
