Rutgers University, are hosting a distinguished lecture series featuring
esteemed scholar Dr. Barbara Wildemuth on Wednesday, December 7th from 5-7
pm at the Rutgers Club. Join us as Dr. Wildemuth reflects on her research
on people’s use of information and information technologies, with
particular emphasis on people’s online searching behaviors.

To this lecture, Dr. Wildemuth brings 40 years of experience in the study of
 people’s use of information and information technologies, with particular
emphasis on people’s online searching behaviors. Her most recent work
includes an analysis of the search strategies used by people conducting web
searches (in collaboration with Diane Kelly) and a methodological study of
the search tasks assigned in interactive information retrieval experiments.
Her book, “Applications of Social Research Methods to Questions in
Information and Library Science,” has been adopted as a text in a number of
ILS schools in the United States and abroad; a second edition was released
last month. She teaches courses in various aspects of research methods,
human information interactions, and information ethics. She received her
Ph.D. from Drexel University, and holds master’s degrees from Rutgers
University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The lecture series will be followed by a Q&A period and a reception
honoring Dr. Wildemuth’s distinguished career.
