Research Interests:
My recent interests have been broadly interdisciplinary, with a particular interest in ways in which computing technology changes the ways we interact and work. Recent projects have included work with humanists in areas such as textual criticism but ranging to affiliated areas such as nautical archaeology and art history. A current project is examining the use of visual materials by scholars in a wide range of disciplines. In more traditional digital libraries, I am involved in a multi-institutional project that is bringing a computing portal to the National Science Digital Library. These research interests are reflected in my other activities, which include key roles in the international digital libraries research community; most recently program chair of the 2009 ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries.
