Welcome! 

I am currently a Professor in Kent State University's School of Information.

My research interests converge at the intersection of books and technology in new literary formats and include:

• participation via users’ affective and immaterial labor, user-generated content and “remix” books, and the multi-literacies required to interpret non-linear, multimodal, digital-age books
• publishing for young readers, genre construction and the commodification of books, international and diverse children’s literature and librarianship, transnational publishing
• social justice and youth services librarianship
• children’s information seeking behavior in everyday settings
• gendered professions within publishing and librarianship for young readers.
