A “Partnership” For The Professional Development Of Librarian Researchers, Brian C. Mcmillan, Pamela Carson
A “Partnership” For The Professional Development Of Librarian Researchers, Brian C. Mcmillan, Pamela Carson
Western Libraries Publications
In this article the authors introduce the Librarians’ Research Partnership (LRP), founded in 2013, at McGill and Concordia University Libraries. The Partnership was inspired by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries’ Librarians’ Research Institute (CARL LRI) which was attended by three of the authors in 2012 and is described here from the point of view of the participants. The authors touch upon the research culture at McGill and Concordia Libraries and discuss barriers and supports for research as prominent themes in the literature on the research role of Canadian academic librarians.

Targeting Point Of Need To Increase Traffic To Library Resources, James C. Miller
Targeting Point Of Need To Increase Traffic To Library Resources, James C. Miller
WRL Staff Scholarship
This paper examines the effect of creating LibGuides tailored to a student’s point of need and focuses on their potential to boost usage of library resources. In this study, LibGuides were designed for specific assignments and introduced to students during library instruction sessions. Pre‐ and Post‐LibGuide web traffic suggests that LibGuides increased web traffic to library resources. This article suggests that library resources should not only provide sources for assignments but also assist a student through the stages of completing an assignment. As a corollary benefit, creation of assignment‐specific LibGuides increased collaboration and discussion between faculty and librarians.
Participatory Action Research: Improving Professional Practices And Local Situations, Mary M. Somerville
Participatory Action Research: Improving Professional Practices And Local Situations, Mary M. Somerville
University Libraries Librarian and Staff Articles and Papers
Participatory Action Research employs social sciences research methods to develop actionable local knowledge. In seeking meaningful and inclusive ways of generating knowledge together in the workplace, Participatory Action Research practitioner–researchers combine action and reflection with theory and practice to improve local situations and enhance professional practices. Working with and for others, co-researchers evolve learning cycles that are practical and emergent, participatory and collaborative, emancipatory and democratic, and interpretive and local. In this case, the cyclical ‘methods in action’ orientation of Participatory Action Research is illustrated through examples from a North American academic library facility renovation initiative. Practical advice is offered …

Building An Assessment Program In The Liberal Arts College Library, Lucretia Mcculley
Building An Assessment Program In The Liberal Arts College Library, Lucretia Mcculley
University Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications
Now in its fourth year, the Library Assessment Committee at the University of Richmond has made great strides in establishing a sustainable assessment program within Boatwright Library. Prior to 2008, limited staff, time, expertise, and commitment were barriers to establishing an ongoing assessment program. As with many other liberal arts college libraries, most of our assessment efforts had focused on information literacy, since instruction is integral to the library and the university's mission. Library surveys and other assessment methods had only received close attention when the university was embarking on its re-accreditation process. With the growing emphasis on assessment within …

Beginning Library & Information Systems Strategies
Scholarly or academic journals are essential resources for doing academic research. While popular magazines like Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report are excellent sources of information on nearly any topic, they are written with the average reader in mind and do not include the depth of coverage that an academic researcher would need. For in‐depth examination of a topic, academic, scholarly publications should be the researcher's first choice.

Conducting A Literature Review, Jim Alderman
Conducting A Literature Review, Jim Alderman
Beginning Library & Information Systems Strategies
The literature review is an integral part of any research project and is undertaken as a means of surveying what research has been conducted previously on a particular topic. There are many reasons for conducting a literature review, but one of the primary reasons is to establish a base line of what is already known on a topic before exploring the topic any further. The review typically involves a search of any previously published or presented materials that might have relevance to a prospective new study.
