Biography

Earl Bailey, Ph.D., joined the iSchool faculty at Kent State University in 2019, and teaches the LIS core class, Research and Assessment in Library and Information Science. He received his Ph.D. in Information and Library Science and his M.A. in Information Science from the University of North Carolina. He also has a B.A. in Mathematics Education from North Carolina University.

Prior to coming to Kent State, Bailey was an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has served as a research assistant, exploring search expertise and interactive searching. Bailey has attended multiple national and international conferences including the International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval to present his research. 

Currently, Bailey lives in North Carolina with his wife and spoiled cats. When he’s not teaching he especially likes to travel, play board games, and cook. 

*The School of Information faculty are superstars in the field. Therefore, it is impossible to list all of the great work they do on one page. Listed below is a small selection of Dr. Bailey’s work.
