"Methods in Librarianship, From A- Z: designing, implementing, and disseminating your research" will be presented on Tuesday May 25, 2021 at 9:00 am Mountain Standard Time. The webinar is part of "An Introduction into Social Science Research Methods and Design". Our speakers will share their extensive experience in research design, methods, analysis, and dissemination to introduce participants to research in real-world settings and translating empirical findings to both practice and publishable results.
The webinar will start with a video presentation by Dr. Guillermo Alfaro López. Dr. López is the author of Comprender y Vivir la Lectura (Understanding and Experiencing Reading) and a researcher at the Library and Information Science Research Institute in the National Autonomous University of México. Dr. Alfaro will discuss the importance of formulating the right research questions from an epistemological perspective, and also examine how the right questions can generate change and evolution of the discipline.
Our second speaker, Professor Ashlynn Kogut, is an Assistant Professor/Education & Social Sciences librarian at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. She received her BA and MSIS from the University of Texas at Austin and her PhD in educational administration from Texas A&M University. She has worked in academic and medical libraries in a variety of roles including instruction, assessment, outreach, and collection development. Her articles have been published in multiple library journals including College and Research Libraries, Journal of Academic Librarianship, and Evidence Based Library and Information Practice. Her current research projects focus on systematic reviews in education and the social sciences and librarians' teaching philosophies. Professor Kogut will present an overview of the initial research process, including a discussion of how to come up with ideas, how to approach potential journals, how to find collaborators.
