This workshop provides a basic introduction to thinking about and outlining qualitative studies for librarians and information professionals in faculty and non-faculty positions who are interested in research methods to demonstrate value for a variety of purposes (e.g., external publication, presentations, and internal continuous improvement).

This workshop will guide participants through the following five segments using active learning techniques, including real-world examples, group discussion, peer sharing, and hands-on activities. Participants are encouraged to bring an idea for a research project to enhance their takeaways. The learning objectives and associated activities for each segment are described below.

1) What are Qualitative Methods?

Participants will be able to define qualitative methods, understand transferability rather than generalizability, and consider appropriate sample size.

2) Developing a Qualitative Research Question

Participants will be able to implement techniques to evaluate and create research questions. Activity: Participants will practice evaluating research questions and crafting questions for their own research study ideas.

3) Qualitative Data Collection

Participants will be able to articulate different types of data collection methods, identify the best one to meet project outcomes. Activity: Participants will be given a scenario and asked to identify appropriate data collection approaches.

4) Qualitative Data Analysis

Participants will be able to define thematic analysis and manually apply the technique. Activity: Participants will be given a small data set to analyze.

5) Sharing Your Results

Participants will be able to explain how to report on their research in a way that is discoverable and reproducible.

An additional outcome of this workshop is to work toward building a community of practice among librarians who are engaged in qualitative research.

Location: Greenway CDE, Hyatt Hotel

Technical Standards: Critical Component of Engineering Librarianship

Panelists: Chelsea Leachman (Washington State University), Erin Rowley (University at Buffalo), Margaret Phillips (Purdue University at West Lafayette), Daniela Solomon (Case Western Reserve University)

In the past ten years, teaching with technical standards has gained interest from engineering faculty and librarians to prepare students for a career after academia and meet accreditation requirements. In addition, technical standards are used in many fields, including interdisciplinary studies, by student teams with varying backgrounds. This session will introduce participants to the upcoming title Technical Standards: Information Literacy and Collection Resources for Librarians and Educators and provide participants with ideas/skills related to the following topics: instruction, collection development, accreditation, and outreach. This session is for librarians and faculty at all levels, and there will be time included in the session for small table discussions after the presentation by the panelists.

TS5: Open Forum, 3:30-5 pm
