Dr. Jim Jansen joined the faculty of the Penn State School of Information Sciences and Technology in May 2002. Dr. Jansen has over 40 publications in the area of information technology and systems. His articles have been published in journals such as the Communications of the ACM, IEEE Computer, Information Processing and Management, and Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology, among others. Dr. Jansen's recently coauthored paper in IEEE Computer analyzing a 4-year trend in how users search the web generated press coverage in over 100 news organizations worldwide, including wire services, cable and network television, radio, newspapers, and commercial web sites. His 1998 article published in ACM SIGIR Forum has received over 40 citations in journals such as Proceedings of the International Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, Information Processing and Management, and Journal of the American Society of information Science and Technology, among others. He has received several awards and honors, including an ACM Research Award, 6 application development awards, along with other writing, publishing, research, and leadership awards. Dr. Jansen has a patent pending for a personalized software agent.
Dr. Jansen has taught basic and applied courses in micro-computing, office applications, information technology, databases, multimedia, the Internet and World Wide Web. Additionally, he has supervised and mentored students in a variety of capstone project courses, research programs and individual directed studies.

My research area is personalized software agents. My research goal is the development of a software application that assists a user in all interactions with a computer and that grows and adapts as the user changes in terms of experience, interests, professions, etc. My research focus is currently on the interaction of the user and technology in locating, retrieving, delivering and presenting relevant information, in whatever form, to the user. Specific research areas include adaptive user interfaces, computer-human interaction, information retrieval, and software agents.
