About

LuMarie Guth is a forward-thinking librarian and researcher whose work centers on the integration of emerging technologies in academic libraries, with a particular focus on telepresence robotics and user engagement. Her most-cited paper, "Telepresence robotics in an academic library" (2017, 24 citations), explores how libraries can leverage robotic systems to bridge the gap between virtual and physical presence, enhancing remote collaboration and accessibility. This study, born from a partnership with a university laboratory, demonstrates Guth’s ability to translate cutting-edge technology into practical library services, offering a model for institutions seeking to innovate patron interactions. Beyond this work, Guth’s research contributes to the broader discourse on digital transformation in libraries, emphasizing user-centered design and the potential of robotics to expand service reach. Her impact is evident in the continued relevance of her findings, which inform both practitioners and scholars navigating the evolving landscape of academic librarianship. Guth’s achievements highlight her role as a pioneer in applying robotics to information science, making her a valuable voice for students and researchers interested in the intersection of technology, education, and library science.
