Librarians And Statistics: Thoughts On A Tentative Relationship, Amy S. Van Epps
Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research
Librarians are not trained as original researchers during library school. As a result, librarians as authors may succumb to common statistical misconceptions and use errors, thus it is important for librarians to know how to recognize them. A quick discussion of what a researcher should be aware to avoid poor methods and inaccurate use of statistics is included.

A list of recommendations for authors and reviewers of LIS literature is presented.
