Activity
RESEARCH
APPROACH
Dr. Figa conducts research in library and information sciences
to understand and describe human social phenomena through the lens
of culture. As an ethnographer, my goal is to understand human
information behavior by examining "human systems" that are best
studied via holistic frameworks. I am increasingly engaged with
research that involves the use of the Internet and the myriad of
information technologies and services that comprise and support
online teaching , learning, personal knowledge management. My goals
are to theoretically understand praxis via interviews and
observation (holistically and unobtrusively) to interpret and
understand real-life experience and application.
SUBJECT INTERESTS
Storytelling as Information Science; Storytelling Pedagogy,
Digital and Virtual Storytelling Environments; Virtual Environments
for Use in Collaborative Work; Virtual Personalities, Online Persona
and Language and Information Technologies; Online Pedagogy, Distance
Education, E-Learning, and Online Teaching-Learning Systems; Library
Services for Distance Education, Doctoral Education; Youth
Information Seeking Behavior and Youth Services Librarianship;
Library and Information Science History and Culture.

LIBRARIAN IDOL
Yes, it is true. I was a contestant on ... drum
roll ...
LIBRARIAN IDOL
I insisted on a microphone and they told me,
"This is an a cappella audition" ... so, I just grabbed my water bottle!
My song?
MY BOOK
(Influence: "My Guy" the 1964 number-one hit single
recorded by Mary Wells for the Motown label.)
Nothing you could say
Can tear me away from my book
Nothing you could do
Cause I'm stuck like glue to my book
I'm stickin' to my book like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather
We ... stick together
I will tell you from the start
I can't be torn apart from my book.
