This book provides an overview of approaches to assist researchers and
practitioners to explore ways of undertaking research in the
information literacy field. The first chapter provides an introductory
overview of research by Dr Kirsty Williamson (author of Research
Methods for Students, Academics and Professionals: Information
Management and Systems) and this sets the scene for the rest of the
chapters where each author explores the key aspects of a specific
method and explains how it may be applied in practice. The methods
covered include those representing qualitative, quantitative and mixed
methods. Both a chapter on the topical evidence-based practice
approach, and another critiquing it, are also included. The final
chapter points the way towards potential new directions for the
burgeoning field.
Renowned information literacy researcher Dr Christine Bruce affirms
the usefulness of the book: New researchers and early career
professionals will appreciate the clarity of the introductions
provided' to each of the methods covered.
