Thomas Gerrish's public record reflects work in academic librarianship, particularly around library reference services, information needs of researchers, and instructional support materials (library guides) for engineering and science courses. Recent publications focus on library services at remote field stations and reference service usage patterns, rather than traditional engineering research. Prospective students seeking an engineering research advisor should note this record centers on library and information science support rather than technical engineering topics.
