<p class=MsoNormal>The following comes to us from Joan Petit, Portland State
University (thanks, Joan!). She sits on the ALA ACRL Instruction Section
Research & Scholarship Committee: <a
href="http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/sections/is/committees/research.cfm">http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/sections/is/committees/research.cfm</a>
. The committee does several things, including maintaining the Research Agenda
for Library and Instruction and Information Literacy: <a
href="http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/sections/is/projpubs/researchagendalibrary.cfm">http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/sections/is/projpubs/researchagendalibrary.cfm</a>
.<br>
<br>
The Agenda was created in 1980, revised in 2000, and they are in the middle of
another overhaul. From the website: "It is hoped that this /Research
Agenda/ will encourage researchers to experiment with a range of research
methods, to revisit issues and focus on different variables, and to collaborate
among institutions so that results are meaningful for wider audiences."
The R&S Committee also maintains this page of research methods: <a
