This book provides a general discussion beneficial to librarians
and library school students, and demonstrates the steps of the
research process, decisions made in the selection of a statistical
technique, how to program a computer to perform number crunching,
how to compute those statistical techniques appearing most
frequently in the literature of library and information science,
and examples from the literature of the uses of different
statistical techniques. The book accomplishes the following
objectives: to provide an overview of the research process and to
show where statistics fit in; to identify journals in library and
information science most likely to publish research articles; to
identify reference tools that provide access to the research
literature; to show how microcomputers can be programmed to engage
in number crunching; to introduce basic statistical concepts and
terminology; to present basic statistical procedures that appear
most frequently in the literature of library and information
science and that have application to library decision making; to
discuss library decision support systems and show the types of
statistical techniques they can perform; and to summarize the major
decisions that researchers must address in deciding which
statistical techniques to employ.
