Mr. Tony Alex Moore

Research is often understood in a multitude of ways to represent work done in the investigation of a subject or discovering unknown data to assist in the informed decision making process. My research focuses on societal and ethical dimensions of information systems development with a focus on human-computer interaction. My primary motivation is to discover and document approaches to improve performance and increase the capabilities of information systems without overly increasing the complexity faced by users and developers. As an information studies professional my work is action-oriented. The increasing diversity of information science and information system research makes the development of a critical mass of applied action-oriented research essential.

I am currently preparing my dissertation research proposal to address the design, evaluation and implementation of digital library technologies. I believe that the strongest models of successful digital library implementation come out of the medical informatics domain. Once properly studied and documented I will follow with human centered design and evaluation. I believe a model of cross cultural collaboration can be developed and applied to other research domains. I will include commentary on the legal and policy aspects associated with cross cultural digital library collaboration and system development. Various methodologies are currently being explored along with an extensive literature review.
