Statement of Research Interests and Experience

I am interested in academic library organization, administration, and governance, including status types (e.g., faculty) for academic librarians. I am interested in discourse analysis as a lens for examining academic library organization and the documents that represent that organization. I am also interested in all aspects of cataloging and metadata. My dissertation examined librarian appointment types at US research universities, including a discourse analysis of appointment documents.

Areas of interest:

• Academic libraries
• Cataloging and Metadata
• Discourse analysis

Possible PhD Thesis Topic Areas

• Academic library roles and relationships
• Current and future state of discovery of library resources
• Academic library governance
• Current and future roles for academic library technical services functions
• Academic library user experience
