Research Statement
The following are examples of past and current research areas
• Game design as an example of a transformative form of knowledge creation, and its impact on the role of libraries and institutional repositories in retaining a record of a student’s degree-bearing thesis-level scholarship
• Development of open access scholarly communications and non-traditional publications in digital contexts
• Use of geospatial interfaces as a means of providing ease of access to siloed resources and to create integrated environments for the study of data and other source materials

https://utahlibraryassociation2018confer.sched.com... - Based on a theory of academic authorship, RPT statements don't incentivize public distribution of and access to digital scholarship. Instead, academic authors are expected to communicate their findings only to other scholars. Does the audience agree? If so, how does this scholarship make its way to the public? This presentation will detail the theory along with two digital scholarly works that made their way to the public through dedicated library publishing services.
