This book provides a text for LIS students and a practical handbook to librarians and other educators who need to conduct research in their libraries. In Research Methods for Librarians and Educators, contributors reinforce the essential nature of research and provide readers with the confidence that they can conduct research to find solutions to various problems and improve their libraries and library programs. The book details various research methodologies and uses a unique perspective on research that presents authentic scenarios to immediately make the research problem and method relevant and valuable to the reader. It covers topics ranging from various research methods, including Causal, Collaborative, Design-Based Research, Longitudinal, and Mixed Methods, as well as interview methods, learning assessment, literature review, and observation and survey methods. Each chapter includes questions intended to spark discussion and deeper reflection that make the book more useful in learning settings. The summary charts throughout provide a handy and easy reference for readers who want a quick refresher on the research method without rereading the entire chapter.-- From publisher. 000842978 650_0 $$aLibrary research. 000842978 650_0 $$aLibrary science$$xResearch. 000842978 650_0 $$aInformation science. 000842978 7001_ $$aSmall, Ruth V.,$$eeditor. 000842978 7001_ $$aMardis, Marcia A.,$$eeditor. 000842978 85200 $$bgen$$hZ669.7$$i.R39$$i2018 000842978 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:842978$$pGLOBAL_SET 000842978 980__ $$aBIB 000842978 980__ $$aBOOK
