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.
- a. Students will describe applications of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in library and information science.
For this project I was tasked with finding a library science research article to analyze and critique. I chose an article on public health libraries and discusses the researcher’s findings and research methodologies.
- b. Students will identify opportunities for research and develop plans for research in applied settings in library and information science.
A group of students and I created a proposal for a perspective research study that looked into the impact that librarian-led media literacy courses have on high school students.
