Introductions

Text: Please introduce yourself to the class. Tell us: 1. Where you are in the world, 2. What you are interested in pursuing in LIS, and 3. Your score on this quiz https://isthisasandwich.netlify.app/

Research Topic Discussions & Group Finding

Text: Throughout the quarter we will complete three assignments that are about a single research topic. Please read the assignment overview page on our course site first... Then if you are interested in working with a group, post here about a topic you are interested in working on. Note - you do not HAVE to work in a group, but we recommend it. Here is an example of what you might post (e.g. think of a research topic post going form general to more specific.)

  1. I am interested in academic libraries
  2. In particular I am interested in digital literacy education in public university libraries
  3. An emergent problem for digital literacy in public universities is the ability for freshmen students to assess reliable research findings in online resources. The research project I would like to work on is about literacy levels of freshmen at public universities, and what libraries have found impactful to improving digital literacy.

Grading progress

Wan-Chen finished grading the research problem statement finals and will start grading the literature review finals tomorrow.

peer review process / spreadsheet

three-sheet spreadsheet (which includes examples) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JGr9gT1YuncfDnNlqNas7Rh6l6itcdx38gI6crLmzQs/edit?usp=sharing

the spreadsheet is meant to be used for two purposes:

  1. recording projects and their authors
  2. matching projects w peer reviewers

when students decide on a group for their project, they can enter their group members' names and their project's working title into the first sheet; individual projects should also be added into the spreadsheet. project-making entities will then sign up to review projects within the same document, so that the groups/reviewers are all documented in the same location.

In google forms create a survey:

1-5 scale questions:

  • I find lectures helpful
  • Lecture length
  • I find chapters helpful

One thing I would like to see change

Overall this course

Readings for Syllabus

With remaining time from our meeting this week - it would be super helpful if you have readings that you like in this area, readings that you find that look helpful, or readings for an LIS spotlight. These are the remaining topics I need lit for:

Research design (that is how to design research rather than design based research)

  • Topics include sampling, etc.

Quant data collection
Quant analysis

Qual data collection
Qual analysis

Design methods

Reporting

Discussion Week 2 - Agenda

  • Review key points in lecture... take questions
  • Ask questions about paradigm / ontology / epistemology / methods (from Claire)
    • Was there anything in either reading that was surprising or unfamiliar to you?
    • Brown and Dueñas present four paradigms (positivism, post-positivism, constructivism/interpretivism, critical theory) and the RWJF presents five (interpretivist, positivist, critical/subtle realist, feminist). Which paradigm(s)--if any--felt like they aligned with your worldview?
    • Brown and Dueñas also introduce pragmatism, which they present as both paradigm and methodology. What are your thoughts on their definition?
    • These two texts present conceptual foundations of social science research. How might these conceptual foundations be relevant in practice for information professionals (e.g. librarians, archivists, etc.)?
