Dr Kirsty Williamson is the Director of the research group, Information and Telecommunications Needs Research (ITNR), a joint initiative of Monash and Charles Sturt Universities in Australia. Since the early 1990s she has undertaken many research projects, with her principal area of research being human information behaviour. Her research has been funded by a range of different organisations including the principal funding body of Australian Universities, the Australian Research Council (ARC). As well as two editions of an earlier research methods book, Research Methods for Students, Academics and Professionals: Information Management and Systems, she has many journal articles to her credit, including five in the highly ranked Library and Information Science Research.

Associate Professor Graeme Johanson worked as a librarian for 10 years before becoming an academic. His PhD thesis, on the history of British books published for the colonies, was published as A Study of Colonial Editions in Australia: 1843–1972. As Director of the Centre for Community Networking Research at Monash University, he has undertaken many research projects about the evaluation and use of information and communications technologies.

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
