MAJOR UPDATE ABOUT "RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS"During a 2021-2022 sabbatical, I shifted my mode of "research and publications." I happily became a creator of educational videos about Information Science. You see, I believe multimedia is the future of educational content and knowledge dissemination. For this reason, I taught myself to make educational videos on the platform, Camtasia, and publish my work at my YouTube channel INFIDEOS. This new multimedia avenue is open access (free!) and overcomes restrictive paywalls and most geographic limitations. I am excited to offer original educational content about Information Science to ALL interested learners, WORLDWIDE. I encourage educators (of Informatin Science and associated fields) to incorporate my videos into their curricula and classrooms. INFIDEOS won the 2022 Pratt-Severn Innovation Award from the Association for Library and Information Science Education (thank you, ALISE!). You can learn about my video-production process, here.
Hence, the "Research and Publications" listed below are archival in nature, since I have not engaged in writing, in a conventional academic manner, for more than two years. To access my current (multimedia) work, please go to INFIDEOS. |
What's below predates my transformation to video-making
Below, you'll find a mostly complete record of my major publications in peer-reviewed journals of Information science between 2005ish and 2020. It will not likely be added to anytime soon, since I no longer enjoy writing, which pales next to the thrill of video-making.)

My research is organized around the question: What is the nature of information in the pleasures of life? I am investigating this matter through the concatenated study of serious leisure realms, which are crossroads of information and enjoyment. My empirical research explores the use and structure of leisure information on personal and social levels and my dissertation was a case study of information in the hobby of gourmet cooking. I am a methodologist and practicing ethnographer with a particular interest in visual and creative techniques. I take an interdisciplinary approach and am involved in sociology and leisure studies, especially through collaboration with Dr. Robert A. Stebbins, architect of The Serious Leisure Perspective. As inspiration and for theoretical resources I draw heavily from northern European information scholarship. My goals are to generate basic knowledge about information in the pleasures of life; challenge existing ideas about information that have largely emerged from academic problem scenarios; establish positive models of organic, flourishing information environments; enliven classrooms with upbeat topics; and enrich the information experience for leisure enthusiasts. Selected publications are organized below by themes (with full text links when available).
