Hamid Jamali serves as Associate Professor in the School of Information & Communication Studies at Charles Sturt University (CSU), actively contributing to the Libraries Research Group (LRG). The LRG focuses on evidence-based solutions for library sector challenges, leveraging CSU's position as Australia's leading provider of library education to enhance library services, collections, and societal roles.
His research spans scholarly communication—including research evaluation, journal publishing, and open science—alongside investigations into information behaviour and user needs across diverse populations. Current projects analyze scholarly communication practices of early-career researchers (informing academic library support services), Australian journal publishing landscapes, and public library resource utilization patterns. These efforts align with LRG's mission to address real-world problems through rigorous sector-focused inquiry.
Collaborative initiatives include engagements with Wagga City Librarians, presentations at the Public Libraries South Australia Conference, and studies on university presses' relationships with libraries. Recent work explores public libraries' support for homeless populations and integrates generative AI with universal design principles to transform information literacy education, demonstrating applied relevance to contemporary library challenges.
