Prof. D. Russell Bailey, Ph.D., combines professional interests in teaching, learning and research/TLR in the digital age with interests in the arts.

Bailey's concepts of TLR derive from intercultural work in languages (West & East), literatures, music, aesthetics and, most recently the Commons (Information, Learning, Library) and Knowledge Creation (especially the Digital Humanities).

New models of "libraries" as learning organizations and collaborative partners in higher education TLR are paramount, as we move TLR to The Cloud, retaining only a minimum (ca. 30%) of our footprint in the physical, with our maximal footprint (ca. 70%) in The Cloud, available 24/7/365+ from anywhere on earth.
