Biography
E.E. Lawrence’s research addresses normative questions about what we ought to do, believe, and value in information institutions. His work focuses special attention on the subset of these questions that concern the library as an agency of reading and cultural dissemination, with a particular interest in the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of Readers’ Advisory service.
Lawrence has been published in prestigious journals including Library Quarterly, Journal of Documentation, Library Trends, and Information & Culture.
He is currently writing a short monograph on the concept of readerly autonomy and what is required to make genuinely autonomous reading choices in a non-ideal world. The book is under contract with Cambridge University Press’s Publishing & Book Culture series.
