Charge: The Virtual Worlds Interest Group provides an opportunity for academic librarians with virtual environment interests and responsibilities to have a place in ACRL to network, share information, ask questions, and work on special projects, promote accessibility and provide programs relevant to academic libraries. The VW Interest Group also works to promote the various uses of virtual reality in all formats (desktop, mobile and headset) to potential and current academic librarians and to improve information literacy (metaliteracy) specifically in virtual spaces. The ACRL VWIG sponsors events, programs and meetings held mainly within the virtual world of Second Life and explores other developing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality platforms in the evolving metaverse.

CALL FOR PAPERS - III International Symposium on Qualitative Methods In Librarianship and Information Studies

  • 1.  CALL FOR PAPERS - III International Symposium on Qualitative Methods In Librarianship and Information Studies

    Posted Mar 30, 2023 12:01 PM

    III International Symposium on
    Qualitative Methods

    In Librarianship and Information Studies
    20th to 22nd of June 2023
    Online Event


    Summary

    The path taken to determine the use of qualitative methodology in librarianship and information disciplines has allowed us to establish the phenomena and fields which are studied in a qualitative way, as well as the methods, and the techniques used. The relevance of qualitative research in our areas has been discussed, and interest in this modality has gradually increased. It is now time to take a step further and explore the future landscape. We must identify the trends that have consolidated, the transformations of data collection methods and their treatment, given that social spaces have changed rapidly; for example, we now refer to multiple realities. It is also worth reviewing the epistemic frameworks, interpretive paradigms, and delving into the ethics of qualitative research in a world shaken by technologies that allow access to almost infinite amounts of information and data and connecting with real or virtual people.
