About

Marija Dalbello is an Associate Professor of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University. Her research focuses on the influence of culture and society on documentary practices, documents and representations that are used to diffuse knowledge. Within that broad framework, she published on transition from print to digital formats, with a focus on the emergent digital collections. She studies the transformation of visual culture between 1886 and 1935 as the wider problem of transformation of visual culture in modernity; and on documentary borderlands reflecting media transitions and study of print culture in a transnational framework. Her articles appeared in The Library Quarterly, Library & Information Science Research, and Book History among other scholarly journals. She co-edited a collection "Print Culture in Croatia: The Canon and the Borderlands" (2006), and "Visible Writings, Cultures, Forms, Readings" with Mary Shaw (forthcoming 2010). She is currently co-editing "Constructing the Heritage of Cultures" with Wayne Wiegand and Pam Richards. She bridges and combines styles of research undertaken by information scientists and historians of print. She chaired the New Jersey chapter of ASIS&T in 2003-2004. She co-organizes an interdisciplinary book history series at Rutgers since 2006. Her Ph.D. in Information Studies is from the University of Toronto and Masters of Library and Information Science from Kent State University. Her undergraduate degrees are from the University of Zagreb (Croatia).
