Interactive video retrieval has been my primary research area. Research projects have examined: user interaction with video digital libraries, human factors affecting interactive video retrieval, user-centered digital video curation, and video and visual information seeking. Some new and future research directions include: cultural competency in digital content, STEM learning in informal spaces, and social media and scholarly communications.
