About

Dr. Sigrid Mandre is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of library and information science and emerging technologies. Her primary research areas focus on the integration of telepresence and robotics within library services, with a particular emphasis on user experience and educational applications. Dr. Mandre’s most notable contribution is her pioneering study, "The Potential of Telepresence in Libraries: Students’ Perspectives" (2024), which has already garnered 8 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. This work uniquely explores how library and information science students perceive and interact with telepresence robots (TPRs) when acting as library consultants, offering critical insights into the practical and pedagogical implications of remote presence technology. By examining the innovative application of TPRs from the student perspective, Dr. Mandre has laid essential groundwork for understanding how these tools can reshape library services, enhance accessibility, and foster new forms of professional training. Her research is particularly notable for its forward-looking approach, addressing the evolving role of libraries in a digitally connected world. Dr. Mandre’s work stands as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in the future of library technology and human-robot interaction.
