Introduction to quantitative and qualitative researchLiz FitzGerald
This presentation, delivered in an Open University CALRG Building Knowledge session, gives a preliminary introduction to both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. There has been widespread debate when considering the relative merits of quantitative and qualitative strategies for research. Positions taken by individual researchers vary considerably, from those who see the two strategies as entirely separate, polar opposites that are based upon alternative views of the world, to those who are happy to mix these strategies within their research projects. We consider the different strengths, weaknesses and suitability of different approaches and draw upon some examples to highlight their use within educational technology.

Presentation given by Miggie Pickton at event run by CILIP University College & Research Group, Yorkshire and Humber branch - Librarians as Researchers: Getting Your Voice Heard.
The Research in Librarianship Impact Evaluation Project (RiLIES - pronounced 'realise') completed in August 2011 explored the extent to which funded librarianship research projects influence library practice in the UK. Of particular interest in the findings are the factors that increase or hinder the impact or project outcomes on practice.
This presentation, delivered at Online 2011, relates the main findings of the project related to: the relationship between the library and information science research and practitioner communities; how researchers can improve the impact of their research with careful attention to how projects are planned, conceived, implemented and reported; organisational factors that support the development of a receptive audience for research output.

3. “Research in librarianship, particularly within the
context of the Philippine situation, is sad to say, very
disappointing.
Why, because there is really not much to talk about
on research in Philippine Librarianship, outside of
the realm of graduate work, or research pursued in
connection with graduate studies.
While our profession has an abundance of well-
educated, well-trained professionals, it is sadly
lacking in research-oriented librarians.”
“Research in Librarianship: Challenges, Competencies, and Strategies,” Keynote
Address at PLAI-STRLC Seminar-Workshop on Research in Librarianship, 9-10
October 2007, held at La Vista Resort, Pansol, Laguna
4. Conclusion
If research has an important role in understanding
the needs to which libraries should be
responsive, and if librarians need to conduct
research in order to better assess the
effectiveness of their approaches to delivering
library services, then librarians and other LIS
professionals, including the agencies
responsible for educating them, and their
employing institutions, should be more attentive
to such a critical activity as library research.
6. PLAI 2014 National Congress
“The Role of Research Librarians in Shaping the Future of Academic Librarianship,” PLAI
Congress on “Philippine Libraries: Future Possibilities”, 25-28 November 2014
•How research mesh with the profession of librarianship?
•In this lecture, I explored such issues as:
-Should scholarly research be expected of academic librarians?
-What are the benefits of research to the Librarian, to the Institution, and to the Profession?,
-What supports are needed to facilitate research activities?
7. Developing a research
culture
7
• Professional associations have an
obligation to prepare practitioners to
conduct and critically consume
research.
• Support and encouragement
can come in the form of research
grants and other incentives.
• Fostering a research environment
within the institution may come in the
form of cross departmental and
collaborative projects
• Embedded librarianship in research~
this model encourages faculty-librarian
research partnerships (project-based)
9. Key Findings in Apolinario’s study
Majority of respondents are female academic librarians
Academic librarians receive institutional support to conduct
research (time off, financial incentives, promotion)
The number of librarian-researchers as well as the publication
of research findings was quite insignificant (1.8%)
Knowledge sharing among librarians is not a prevailing
research activity (only 38.2% of respondents have published or presented their
results to an external audience)
Collaborative research among librarian-researchers is low (70%
of researches were single-authored)
Contributions of practitioner-researchers are higher than
academics-researchers
12. Key Findings in Abrigo’s study
Academic librarians
account for a huge
number of knowledge
output generation
institutional mandate
is the primary reason
for doing research
Collaborative research
activity is low (65% are
single-authored)
Only 48% of researches are
published in conference
proceedings, subscription-
based sources, and seminar
websites.
15. Service Role of Librarians
15
• Service to the user community is the goal of every librarian
• Research is essential to good service
• Conducting evidence-based research is a mechanism to
• explore new approaches to improve library services
• enhance research support provided to students and faculty
• advance use of technology in support of learning
• Address critical needs for archiving and preserving access to
information
16. What do we mean by ‘research’?
‘ACADEMIC’ RESEARCH ‘PRACTITIONER’ RESEARCH
• Problem solving or curiosity
driven - purpose is to create new
knowledge (or confirm existing
knowledge)
• Grounded in disciplinary context
(literature, theory, methodology,
interpretation)
• Produce outputs of publishable
quality
• Audience: other scholars, policy
makers, practitioners
• Make an ‘impact’
• Focused on current problem or
need identified by library or
institution
• Pragmatic approach to theory
and methodology – often
investigative or evaluative
• Research is applied to practice
• Results inform practice –
support decision-making for
immediate benefit
• Dissemination often a
secondary consideration

setting for the study
• Feasible – Consider an issue/s related to the area of
interest that can be studied
• Important – Identify a worthwhile research question
• Ethical – Make certain conducting the study will not
harm anyone
Source: “Selecting and Defining a Research Topic”, by Stephen E. Brock, Ph.D., NCSP California State University, Sacramento
21. Narrowing the topic
21
• Focus on a specific TYPE or CLASS
• Focus on a particular PLACE or
REGION
• Focus on a certain TIME PERIOD
• Focus on a certain ASPECT
o Social, legal, medical, ethical,
biological, psychological,
economic, political,
philosophical, etc.
• Focus on a specific POPULATION
Gender, age, occupation, ethnicity,
nationality, educational
attainment, species, etc.
22. Sources of ideas
22
• Your own experience
and knowledge
• Prior research findings
• Using existing theories
• Colleagues
• Listservs
• Scholarly sources – primary and secondary
• Other Professional experiences & observations
23. Generating ideas ~ examples
• Evaluate service performance for
current services
• Identify gaps in service provision and
recommend measures to fill these gaps
• Measure impact/effectiveness of a
new approach to information literacy
teaching
• Investigate potential new services e.g.
use of mobile technologies for alerting or
accessing resources
• Identify best/good practice elsewhere
and introduce it to your own workplace
• Look into improvement of database
management and curation activities

24. Look into the Research Domains for EBL
"Evidence-based librarianship
(EBL) is a means to improve the
profession of librarianship by
asking questions, finding,
critically appraising and
incorporating research evidence
from library science (and other
disciplines) into daily practice. It
also involves encouraging
librarians to conduct research".
~Andrew Booth

25. Generating ideas - Research Domains of EBL
Reference/Enquiries –providing service and access to
Education –finding teaching methods and strategies to educate users
Collections –building a high-quality collection of print and electronic
materials that is useful, cost-effective and meets user needs
Management –managing people and resources within an organization
Information Access & Retrieval –creating better systems and
methods for information retrieval and access
Marketing/Promotion –promoting the profession, the library and its
services

•Helps in narrowing down your research topic
•Literature review helps in constructing a research
design
CILIP (n.d.) A CILIP policy for information and library research
30. Research Training
• Research training, whether formal or
informal, must be re-introduced as
part of our growth and development.
• Training should involve concepts
and procedures for preparing,
designing, conducting, and
evaluating research.
• Any training should provide a
survey of social science research
methodologies and a review of their
applications
Check out the interactive research tree from here:
http://www.etc.edu.cn/eet/articles/methodsofinq/index.htm
31. • learn to think like
researchers –
critically, analytically,
methodically
