Donald O. Case's personal website.
Welcome to my Webpage. Here you will find information about my interests, teaching, publications and personal pursuits, along with corresponding links. Students of information behavior may find the bibliography published here of particular interest. I am a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Communication and Information, located in Lexington, Kentucky. I teach graduate courses exclusively, although I have also taught undergraduate students both here and at UCLA. My research interests include information behavior (including information seeking, passive reception and active avoidance of information) and the social and educational effects of information technologies. Among other writings, I am the author of the award-winning book, Looking for Information: A Survey of Research on Information Seeking, Needs, and Behavior, published by Emerald (Third Edition, 2012), and co-author (with J. David Johnson) of Health Information Seeking, published by Peter Lang (2012).
During 2008-2009 I was the President of the premier association in information science: http://www.asis.org/ Information on my School, College and University may be found via our College website. My full curriculum vitae may be found here.
