I possess extensive experience in conducting empirical (primarily quantitative, some qualitative) basic and applied research in Informatics (community and e-government), Informetrics (Webometrics, citation analysis, and Web log data analysis), information organization (classification and descriptive metadata standards), information literacy, and, to a lesser extent, research methods that has resulted in substantial and impactful peer-reviewed scholarly publications.  This experience has been applied to and reflected in an extensive and effective teaching background in in-person, online, and distributed video formats.  To compliment my research and pedagogical skills, I possess a strong variety of professional library capabilities in cataloguing and reference services along with a long history of management experiences from a number of challenging private- and public-sector environments.  The skills I developed through these professional experiences have been enhanced significantly by my work in a large and diverse number of service-based activities for my employers, the academy, my disciplinary profession, and my colleagues.  As a consequence of my combined academic, professional, and service/volunteer experiences, I seek a career environment in the public or private sector that will continue to challenge me intellectually while I attempt to make beneficial contributions to humankind concerning information, its creation, its organization, how it is made available and accessed, and how it is used by various communities of persons.
