Emerging Diversity of Research in Library Studies

Abstract

Research can take many forms, especially in a field as diverse as library studies. This panel will bring together several emerging scholars as they relate and compare their differing approaches to research. For some the subject area requires special considerations for research methods, for others the end goal brings into question what counts as research at all. It is our hope that this panel will illustrate the range of effort possible in our field and prove illuminating to our fellow scholars, both new and established.
