PRÁCE:

Ray R. Larson je profesorem na School of Information na univerzitě v Kalifornii.
Je aktivním členem ASIS (American Society for Information Science), kde byl v předchozích letech členem představenstva, fungoval na pozici bývalého předsedy ASIS a poradce pro ASIS Bay Area Student Chapter.
V roce 2002 byl zvolen jako patron American Association for the Advancement of Science (Americká asociace pro rozvoj vědy).

VÝZNAM PRO INFORMAČNÍ VĚDU

Ray R. Larson se specializuje na oblast designu a hodnocení vyhledávání informací v systémech a digitálních knihovnách. Taktéž se zabývá hodnocením interakce uživatelů s těmito systémy .
Pracuje jako programátor/analytik pro UC Division of Library Automation (DLA), kde se podílel na designu, rozvoji a hodnocení výkonu systému MELVYL (online katalog pro univerzitu v Kalifornii).
Vydává publikace, které se zabývají oblastí hodnocení informačních systému a vyhledávání informací.

AKTIVITY, PROJEKTY A VÝZKUMY

V průběhu vědecké kariéry se profesor Ray R. Larson zabýval projektem Sequoia 2000. Zde se podílel na designu, hodnocení a informačním systému na podporu infomačních potřeb vědců studujících globální změny. Zabýval se výzkumem zaměřený na vyhledávání a získávání informací a na digitální knihovny, včetně toho, jak využít strukturu a obsah XML a jejich aplikaci na digitální knihovny.
Taktéž pracoval na hledání efektivního způsobu vyhledávání geografických informací ve vícejazyčném prostředí.
Pracoval projektu UC Berkeley Digital Library, což byl jeden z projektů digitálních knihoven, které byly sponzorované NSF, NASA a ARPA. Zde pracoval na informačním systému, který poskytoval informace ze životního prostředí.
Působil jako vedoucí výzkumný pracovník projektu Cheshire , díky kterému byla rozvinuta další generace online katalogů a full textových vyhledávacích systémů.
Poslední práce na Cheshire systému byla podporována Mezinárodní digitální knihovnou grantem od NSF (National Science Foundation).
Projekty působily pod názvem: "Cross-Domain Resource Discovery: Integrated Discovery and Use of Textual, Numeric and Spatial Data". Taktéž se zabýval projekty sponzorovanými DARPA, jako byly: Search Support for Unfamiliar Metadata Vocabularies a Translingual Information Management Using Domain Ontologies. Taktéž se zabýval projektem podporovaným IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) s názvem Seamless Searching Between Numeric and Text Resources.
Ve volném čase pracuje na projektech zabývající se bibliometrií a automatickými klasifikačními metodami.
