I think Peter raises a very valid point which has obsessed me for ages. Because we all occupy multiple spaces,
not just one. When I publish LIS research I'm a researcher; when I write on my hobby - naval history - I'm an
amateur historian; when I work on Zooniverse projects I'm a citizen scientist. And yet the tools and techniques
I use are the same for each. Users CANNOT be pigeonholed simplistically, as they have complex interactions
with research.
