Her research interests are in the use of information and educational technologies to grow Knowledge Communities, with a special focus on connecting the K-12 learning environment to the teaching and learning practice of the university. Her upcoming book, Knowledge Communities: Bringing the Village into the Classroom, examines how knowledge, which in the nineteenth century looked at classification (according to arguments by McLuhan) now, in the twenty-first century centers upon "connections". In addition to teaching introductory master's courses at the School of Information Science and Policy, she also teaches School Library Media courses which focus upon the integration of information theory, practice, assessment, and technology.
