Research Abstract |
My extracurricular interests are centered around collection development and scholarly publishing activities. The changes in scholarly publishing due to technology and electronic publishing have redefined ways that libraries acquire and license information. I am interested in a variety of permutations about this for scholarly communications, and byproducts such as the redefinition of grey literature. I am also interested in issues related to higher education and the formation and role of academic consortia in growing library shared resources and eScholarship programs. | |
