About

Marianne Paimre is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of library and information science, digital innovation, and user experience. Her work primarily explores how emerging technologies can transform library services, with a particular focus on telepresence and human-robot interaction in information settings. In her most-cited study, "The Potential of Telepresence in Libraries: Students’ Perspectives" (2024), Paimre investigated how library and information science students perceive and interact with telepresence robots (TPRs) when acting as library consultants. This pioneering work, which has already garnered 8 citations, sheds light on the practical and perceptual barriers to integrating robotics into public and academic libraries. By centering the student perspective, Paimre offers actionable insights for libraries considering remote assistance technologies. Her research is notable for bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world application, making her a key voice in the evolving conversation about the future of library services. Paimre’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and professionals seeking to understand how libraries can remain relevant in an increasingly digital and automated world.
