  Outcomes, Value & Impact: Metrics for Libraries

Picture
I teach in areas of organizational change, including knowledge management and organizational learning, evaluation of information programs and services, information ethics, and research methods. My research interests are in the areas of actor-networks, practice theory and organizational learning, the institutionality of libraries, and social information relationships and interactions. My teaching and the ongoing discussions across the research and information communities in which I participate continue to shape this research program.
I have always liked teaching, perhaps because I also like being a student. While I believe I have something to offer in all of the courses I teach, I also believe there is more for me to learn. My teaching goal is to inspire students to find and experience their own “ah-hah” moments in the course. I try to facilitate these moments by combining knowledge of theory, practice and personal experience.
I try to follow students’ curiosities to discover the important patterns in the puzzles of learning, reading, talking, and writing around the various course themes.  I am a strong advocate of the writing process and of the printed word – I work with the basics — reading, writing, and discussing critically.
