Purchase options and add-ons

The long-awaited 2nd edition of this best-selling research methods handbook is fully updated and includes brand new coverage of online research methods and techniques, mixed methodology and qualitative analysis.

This edition includes two new contributed chapters: Professor Julie McLeod, Sue Childs and Elizabeth Lomas focus on research data management, applying evidence from the recent JISC funded "DATUM" roject; Dr Andrew Shenton examines strategies for analysing existing documents.

The first to focus entirely on the needs of the information and communications community, this handbook guides the would-be researcher through the variety of possibilities open to them under the heading research and provides students with the confidence to embark on their dissertations. The focus here is on the doing and although the philosophy and theory of research is explored to provide context, this is essentially a practical exploration of the whole research process with each chapter fully supported by examples and exercises tried and tested over a whole teaching career.

Readership: Students of information and communications studies and archives and records management, and practitioners beginning a piece of research.

Product description

Review

"This reference guide outlines the research process for students and practitioners in information studies, communications, records management, knowledge management, and related disciplines. It covers the three major research paradigms in information science, then reviewing the literature, defining the research, the proposal, sampling, ethics, research methods, the type of question the methods can be used for, and how to design it, including case studies, surveys, experimental research, Delphi studies, action research, historical research, and grounded theory. It also details data collection techniques (interviews, questionnaires, observation, diaries, and focus groups), and qualitative and quantitative data analysis and research presentation. The philosophy and theory behind the research is included only for context; emphasis is on the research process itself. This edition adds two chapters by guest authors on data research management and the analysis of existing documents. The chapters on usability testing and ethnography have been expanded to include netnography and other material."

Peter Johan Lor
Excellent research methods text
Reviewed in the United States on 26 April 2013

Having taught research methods for library and information science for some years, and having spent a lot of time supervising and examining masters and PhD students, I was delighted when I found the first edition of Alison Pickard's book. This second edition builds on that and updates it. This text is sensible and practical without overlooking the metatheoretical assumptions underlying research activity. I particularly recommend the first chapter, which deals with major research paradigms in a straightforward, understandable way, laying a good basis for a discussion of the qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods methodologies. The methods discussed will be useful to researchers working in information science as well; as library studies.
