Sean Burns, PhD
I am an assistant professor of information science. I primarily investigate
problems related to scholarly communication and systems and issues related to
academic libraries. I am working collaboratively or solo on projects under the
following, general topics:
- bias in peer review
- qualitative data archiving and preservation
- megajournal publication patterns
- information retrieval differences among databases
- the history of library science
- censorship and science
I teach online and face to face undergraduate courses and online graduate
courses. At the undergraduate level, I teach courses on personal
information/knowledge management, Linux systems administration, and semantic
web development. At the graduate level, I teach knowledge management, reference
services, electronic resource management, and information seeking.
