Meet the Authors: Top Trends and Tips in LIS Research
February 16, 2017 @ 8:00 AM PST
Meet the Authors of the New LIS Research Methods Book!
Lynn Silipigni Connaway and Marie L. Radford Discuss Top Trends and Tips in LIS Research
The new edition of Research Methods in Library and Information Science is a practical and comprehensive introduction to research design, presenting up-to-date coverage of the principles and data collection techniques for quantitative and qualitative research methods — along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. The new edition includes added sections featuring the voices of prominent LIS scholars, researchers, and editors. “Voices of the Experts” text boxes provide researchers’ advice on specific methods and identify the most important or most valuable reasons for using a particular method and software for analysis—such as NVivo, SurveyMonkey, and log capture.
Co-authors, Lynn Silipigni Connaway and Marie L. Radford, provide a foundation of research practice and process for library and information science researchers, students and professionals. The book includes instruction on conducting research using an array of tools as well as guidance in critically reading and evaluating research publications, proposals, and reports. Connaway and Radford will review top trends and tips for LIS research, to highlight some of the book’s comprehensive coverage of what is new and exciting for beginning scholars as well as those wishing to learn about current trends.
