 Ph D Thesis (full text online): Relevance of Cataloguing Principles to the Online Environment: An Historical and Analytical Study. (1997). University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

 A Prototype Catalogue of Super Records is an experiment based on my PhD thesis. It is a new approach to the description and representation of works that appear in different editions and manifestations.

 I also presented a paper on AACR2 and Catalogue Production Technology (based on the above experiment) at the International Conference on the principles and Future Development of AACR held in Toronto, 23-25 October 1997.

At the 7th ISKO International Conference held in Granada, Spain (10-13 July 2002) on Challenges in Knowledge Representation and Organization for the 21th Century: Integration of Knowledge across Boundaries, I followed the concept of Super Records and presented a joint paper with Mehri Parirokh: "Restructuring the Bibliographic Record for Better Management, Organization and Representation of Knowledge in the Global Online Environment: A New Approach.
