Hazel Hall

Now an Emeritus Professor, I formerly led the Centre for Social Informatics within the School of Computing at Edinburgh Napier University. I hold a Masters degree in Library and Information Studies and a PhD in Computing. I am also Docent in Information Studies in the School of Business and Economics at Åbo Akademi, Finland, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

My main research expertise and interests lie in information sharing in online environments. Other themes in which I maintain an active interest include information behaviour and use, online communities and collaboration, library and information science research, and research impact. I was a panel member for the Research Assessment Framework (REF) 2021 Unit of Assessment 34 Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library and Information Management.
