Alex Mayhew is currently researching the use of phylogenetic trees and textual memes as a replacement for FRBR's four tier model and a way to integrate user participation into library catalogues. This new cataloguing paradigm is called Phylomemetics.
Alex also serves as a host and co-founder of the So What? podcast.
