Rich Gazan Welcome to my home page.  I'm Professor and Director of the Library & Information Science (LIS) Program in the School of Communication & Information in the College of Social Sciences, and a graduate faculty member of the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Communication & Information Sciences (CIS), which encompasses four units and three colleges across the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

I'm interested in how people integrate diverse types of knowledge, from document collections to the work of people with different kinds of expertise.  I study interdisciplinary scientific collaborations, social Q&A communities and informal educational resources (for details, see my Research page).  If you're interested in any of these projects or programs, feel free to contact me.
