What's new?

My White Paper for CLIR on the future of academic libraries is makes a case for information as a discovery accelerator.

Jit Sengupta and I were awarded the Rudolph J. Joenk, Jr. Award for Best Paper of 2006 in the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication for our "Query by Templates: Using the Shape of Information to Search Next-Generation Databases".

e-Copies are now available of the majority of my writings since 1988 on this site- just click on publications link above. Or read my InfoMatters blog to get some of my latest words on all matters information-related.
