This study investigates the needs of qualitative researchers and the ways in which libraries may address some of those needs. Using qualitative interview methods, we conducted 10 semi-structured interviews with individuals from two stakeholder groups: researchers (faculty and doctoral students) and librarians. Among the variety of needs that emerged, ranging from methods training to identifying sources of funding, we discuss two implications for library practice in detail: (1) the need for depth in library resources on qualitative methodology, and (2) potential ways for the library to support communities of practice around qualitative research tools and methods.
