Students have a critical grounding in theoretical perspectives that draw on research in LIS as well as other fields of knowledge, that inform their professional practices including research, organization, management, and access to information.
Goal IV. Theory & Praxis:
Students will describe applications of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in library and information science.
Goal Iv.A.
In this Research Review, I analyze the research methodologies used in an ILS change proposal by a small academic library. This information would serve as the foundations for my own research proposal, seen in Goal IV.B.
LIS 6271: Research Methods in Library & Information Science
❋
In preparation for my LibGuide (seen in Goal II.C.) I create an annotated bibliography entry. This entry is a great example one of the many tools reference librarians utilize.
LIS 6603: Basic Information sources/ services
❋
Students will identify opportunities for research and develop plans for research in applied settings in library and information science.
Goal IV.B.
In this Research Proposal, three students and I call for the transition from ILLiad to Rapido for a small academic library, exploring the benefits and disadvantages of each ILS on student and teacher checkouts, retention, and more.
