About
Christina K. Pikas
I'm a librarian at a university-affiliated research laboratory. We do mostly physical sciences and engineering. I do in-depth literature searching in collaboration with lab staff and I'm also embedded in a few teams. I also work on knowledge sharing initiatives within the lab, do collection development, and teach various how-to courses.
I'm also a doctoral student at the iSchool at the University of Maryland. I study lots of different areas in information science, but I'm primarily interested in how social computing technologies impact informal scholarly communication in science. I'm getting ready to do my comprehensive exams - so wish me luck!
I'm a member of SLA (Physics-Astronomy-Math and Chemistry Divisions; DC and Maryland Chapters) and ASIS&T;.
My old blog (2004-2009) is also called Christina's LIS Rant
