Introduction The start of a research article providing background information and an overview of the research presented in the article.
The personal interests that initially led you to research will take a sharper focus as you refine your curiosity through defining terms, the scope of your query, and the perspective of your approach — all informed by a thorough examination of the literature. In this lesson, you will explore the literature relevant to your research area, applying best practices for reading and discovery in Library and Information Science An interdisciplinary field that examines how physical and digital information is organized, accessed, collected, managed, disseminated and used, particularly in library settings. (LIS An interdisciplinary field that examines how physical and digital information is organized, accessed, collected, managed, disseminated and used, particularly in library settings.) and related disciplines. This lesson will conclude with you reflecting on how identified publications and readings impact your understanding of your research query and its place within the larger context of the literature.
If you’re interested in working on articulating your research interests and agenda before learning more about the background of the LIS discipline, consider taking Course 1: Who Are You as a Researcher before or after completing this lesson.
