My research interests revolve 
around the perceptual worlds 
of information and information 
technology users. I am particularly 
interested in qualitative approaches such as action 
research, phenomenography and 
phenomenology.  [Phenomenography 
is a research approach that allows 
us to explore the different ways 
in which people experience some 
aspect of the world.] 

My main area of expertise is 
information literacy theory and practice. This
incorporates training and education of 
information users in educational,
community and corporate sectors.
I also have a focus on the information use
processes of research students.

I have wider interests in teaching and 
learning in higher education, with 
emphasis on the varying ways in which 
students experience learning, teaching 
for conceptual change and fostering 
deep, rather than surface learning 
strategies.
