Sally Jo Cunningham
Sally Jo Cunningham is a founding member of the New Zealand Digital Libraries Research Group, who are the developers of the Greenstone software. Her research primarily focuses on digital library users and their information behaviour, over text, image, video, and music documents; she is particularly interested in how information behaviour changes as people move to digital documents, and in how we can support the 'non-native' behaviour seen with physical collections, in the digital library.
