Acknowledgments

This book has been developing since early in my doctoral studies. Many, many hands have helped bring this book to you. My sincere thanks to everyone who has been involved, in ways big or small.

In particular I would like to express my enduring gratitude to Kiersten F. Latham, without whom I couldn't have done much of this, and Deborah Turner, who started it all. Thanks also to Denise Agosto, Ron Day, Andrea Forte, Jane Greenberg, Jenna Hartel, Elliott Hauser, Gita Manaktala, Bhuva Narayan, Alex Poole, Lorraine Richards, and Sukrit Venkatagiri. I am also indebted to conversations with many other people, those who relish discussions about ideas and futures, those who give courage through words and smiles, with whom I crossed paths at gatherings such as the annual meetings of the Document Academy and the Association for Information Science and Technology. Whether or not we have remained in touch, our conversations have left an imprint on my work, and this book wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you.

While working on this book, I also benefited from giving presentations on various aspects of my work to colleagues at Drexel University, as well as City University of London; Syracuse University; and University of Maryland, College Park. I am grateful for those invitations to speak, and twice more for the comments and discussions that ensued.

Some of the ideas in this book have been published in journal articles and conference proceedings (bibliographic references are provided throughout). As such, this work benefited from the generosity of myriad anonymous peer reviewers – not to mention the vision of the editors who championed my work.

Thank you.
