My
Publications
Engaging in outreach and education through publications that supports the field of information studies is an area dear to me. Sharing new knowledge, perspectives, and practices that can support others and the growth of understanding in this field which is so important to literacy, access, and our democratic citizenry, is my goal in publishing.
