Description

There has been a long tradition of quantitative research in the information profession. But even the most cursory examination of research actually undertaken in this area demonstrates several acute problems: inadequate use of relevant prior work; poor sample selections; inadequate attention to methodological aspects; and lack of statistical analysis and techniques. Now, this companion volume to the respected Qualitative Research for the Information Professional tackles those problems. In this practical manual, each chapter includes focus questions, an introduction to the subject matter, clear exposition of what are sometimes complex issues, scenarios set in a context relevant to the reader, and suggestions for personal reflection and further activity and reading. Today's electronic world presents challenging opportunities to researchers and research-users alike, and the text fully reflects their need to face these implications in their work. Key areas covered include: the nature of information research; quantitative research design; choice of research methods; introduction to statistics; inferential statistics; reading and evaluating quantitative research; the research proposal; surveys; Delphi research; experimental research; content analysis; and reporting. This is an essential tool for all library professionals and information managers.
