Title: Rethinking Research as Collaboration in Action
Description: I don't always approach my own research with collaboration in mind, partly because my area of interest (family homelessness and library services) is not widely researched, and partly because it is often easier to work alone. At the same time, I acknowledge that for my research to have any significant impact on librarianship and library services, it needs to be collaborative, to include those in and joining the profession, but more importantly, those in the communities I am eager for libraries to serve. Thus, during this session, I will dismantle a completed research project and reframe it using collaborative and action research practices. My goal is to work through (in collaboration with webinar participants) when, where, and how traditional research designs can be opened for collaboration and action research.
Speaker: Vikki C. Terrile is an Assistant Professor at Queensborough Community College, the City University of New York (CUNY) where she serves as the Public Services and Assessment Librarian and Co-Coordinator of Information Literacy.
