My CV (from April 2024) contains a complete listing of RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS, as well as conference participation. Selected references from peer-reviewed journals and some full text papers are below. A different perspective is available through my Google Scholar profile. Finally, the iSQUARE RESEARCH PROGRAM ARCHIVE contains a history of that project, which ran from 2010-2020.

During a 2020-2021 sabbatical, I changed my mode of expression. I became a multimedia creator of videos about Information Science. Then, I launched the YouTube channel, INFIDEOS, which is a portmaneau of the words "INFORMATION" and "VIDEOS." I believe multimedia is the future of educational content and knowledge dissemination. INFIDEOS is open access (free!) and overcomes restrictive paywalls. Advantageously, YouTube translates the audio track to hundreds of languages, increasing reach significantly for interested learners, worldwide. I invite educators of Information Science and associated fields to incorporate my videos into their curricula and classrooms. To that end, a helpful starting point is An Introduction to INFIDEOS for Educators; and you can learn about my video-making process, here. Feel free to browse INFIDEOS and please SUBSCRIBE!

Prior to my video making turn, I had a more conventional academic career in the field of Information Science. My research was organized around the question: What is the nature of information in the pleasures of life? I investigated that matter through the concatenated study of serious leisure realms, which are crossroads of information and enjoyment. My empirical research explored 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. Selected publications from 2005-2021 (with a few outliers) are organized below by themes; some full text links/PDFs are available.

Here is a non -academic statement on my research into hobbies and an academic biography. These narratives are outdated, but I keep them online to help emerging researchers with similar interests to organize their ideas. |
