About the Author :
Danny P. Wallace was professor and EBSCO Chair of Library Service in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama. The late Connie Van Fleet was professor in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Oklahoma.

Review :
[P]rovides a clear and readable description of research techniques within the context of librarianship, and as such, it is well-suited as a textbook for students of all ages. The chapter on interviews and questionnaires includes useful information about developing and using these methods, and the chapters on data analysis and statistics are clear overviews of complicated and often unfamiliar topics. The authors emphasize that research and evaluation activities should be viewed as key components of evidence-based practice in a variety of libraries. Whether student or practitioner, information professionals in all types of libraries can benefit from incorporating research and evaluation into their regular planning activities.
