Current digital libraries are institutional repositories with the objective being content archiving, they often lack end-user services needed to make this valuable data useful for the scholarly community. To effectively utilize such data to address the information needs of users, digital libraries should support various end-user services such as document search and browsing, document recommendation, as well as services to make navigation of long PDF documents easier and accessible. Ahuja\u2019s research and dissertation directly addresses these concerns in creative and beneficial ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ahuja has transitioned to Seattle, Washington and is working with DocuSign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dissertation of Dr. Aman Ahuja is available through the thesis and dissertation repository of Virginia Tech at <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10919\/115817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10919\/115817<\/a>.
