In today's globalized world, viable and reliable research is
fundamental for the development of information. Innovative methods
of research have begun to shed light on notable issues and concerns
that affect the advancement of knowledge within information
science. Building on previous literature and exploring these new
research techniques are necessary to understand the future of
information and knowledge. The Handbook of Research on Connecting
Research Methods for Information Science Research is a collection
of innovative research on the methods and application of study
methods within library and information science. While highlighting
topics including data management, philosophical foundations, and
quantitative methodology, this book is ideally designed for
librarians, information science professionals, policymakers,
advanced-level students, researchers, and academicians seeking
current research on transformative methods of research within
information science.
Mixed methods research provide researchers with an opportunity to
understand problem for multiple perspectives and for this reason it
is becoming prevalent in many fields. Little, has been done to
elevate mixed methods research in information science. Research has
demonstrated that its application in information science is low.
This book is dedicated to this emerging methodology and promotes
it's potential for providing a comprehensive picture of information
science problems. This book will give international perspectives
from people involved in the mixed methods research movement. This
book is a appropriate for all types of researchers, students,
supervisors, academicians, practitioners, and policy makers.
Archives, museums, and libraries are pivotal to the management and
preservation of any society's heritage. Heritage assets should be
systematically managed by putting in place proper policies,
maintenance procedures, security and risks measures, and retrieval
and preservation plans. The Handbook of Research on Heritage
Management and Preservation is a critical scholarly resource that
examines different aspects of heritage management and preservation
ranging from theories that underline the field, areas of
convergence and divergence in the field, infrastructure and the
policy framework that governs the field, and the influence of the
changing landscape on practice. Featuring coverage on a broad range
of topics, such as community involvement, records legislation, and
collection development, this book is geared towards academicians,
researchers, and students seeking current research on heritage
management and preservation.
Knowledge systems are an essential aspect to the preservation of a
community's culture. In developing countries, this community-based
knowledge has significant influence on such things as decision
making and problem solving. The Handbook of Research on Social,
Cultural, and Educational Considerations of Indigenous Knowledge in
Developing Countries is an authoritative reference source for the
latest scholarly research on the importance of knowledge and value
systems at the community level and ways indigenous people utilize
this information. Highlighting impacts on culture and education in
developing nations, this book is ideally designed for researchers,
academicians, policy makers, students, and professionals interested
in contemporary debates on indigenous knowledge systems.
Memory institutions such as archives, libraries, and museums
collect, arrange, describe, and preserve their collections and
holdings in order to make them accessible to the community.
However, these institutions remain underutilized and are struggling
to raise awareness of their existence and attract users and
funders. The Handbook of Research on Advocacy, Promotion, and
Public Programming for Memory Institutions is a collection of
innovative research on emerging strategies such as advocacy,
outreach, marketing, and public programming to promote memory
institutions and engage the community. While highlighting topics
including customer service solutions, social media, and collection
development strategies, this book is ideally designed for heritage
management and information professionals, curators, museum
management, archival specialists, librarians, policymakers,
researchers, and academicians.
There has been a growth in the use, acceptance, and popularity of
indigenous knowledge. High rates of poverty and a widening economic
divide is threatening the accessibility to western scientific
knowledge in the developing world where many indigenous people
live. Consequently, indigenous knowledge has become a potential
source for sustainable development in the developing world. The
Handbook of Research on Theoretical Perspectives on Indigenous
Knowledge Systems in Developing Countries presents
interdisciplinary research on knowledge management, sharing, and
transfer among indigenous communities. Providing a unique
perspective on alternative knowledge systems, this publication is a
critical resource for sociologists, anthropologists, researchers,
and graduate-level students in a variety of fields.
Research that is based on appropriate theoretical or conceptual
frameworks ensures valid and credible research objectives and the
production of relevant results that complement existing literature
on a research problem. Innovative and relevant knowledge is
produced using appropriate theories and concepts. Despite the
importance of theoretical and conceptual frameworks to research,
many researchers have difficulties applying them appropriately in
their research. Researchers in information systems have limited
exposure to theories of societal and human development that should
guide them in applying their knowledge of information systems to
address real-world problems. Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks
in Information Systems Research presents a collection of practical
case applications of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in
information systems research. It guides researchers of information
systems to explore and use appropriate theoretical frameworks. This
book further tests different theories and frameworks and recommends
their effectiveness and improvement and identifies context-specific
theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Covering topics such as
decision electronic health record implementation, institution
management, and technology adoption, this premier reference source
is an essential resource for policymakers, educators and
advanced-level students of higher education, information systems
professionals, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Students of information systems are not often exposed to theories
of societal and human developments that could help guide them to
apply their knowledge of technology in order to address real-world
problems. Due to this, they often fail to frame impactful research
that makes a real difference to society. The book aims to improve
the quality and validity of research, expose useful theories that
can be applied in various contexts to solve business and daily
problems, and test different theories and frameworks and recommend
their effectiveness and improvement. It provides a guide for
students of technology to explore and use appropriate theoretical
frameworks. This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate
researchers, research supervisors, University Libraries,
institutions, departments, and centers involved in research and
innovation.
