X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Exploring Librarians’ Approa
ches to Reference and Research Service with Q Methodology – Amy VanScoy<
/h3>\n
Librarians hold different beliefs about what reference and resear
ch services are for and how they should relate to the people they serve. M
y research has traced these "orientations to practice" across several coun
tries\, identifying three: communication and information provision\, empow
erment and learning\, and empathy and growth (a relational\, transformativ
e orientation). While the first two orientations have replicated widely\,
the empathy and growth orientation has not reappeared in recent studies\,
raising the question of whether it is culturally contingent. This talk int
roduces a new project taking up that question in Sweden\, where democratic
mission and enlightenment are central to library law and practice. The ta
lk will also detail the methodology used in the studies\, Q methodology\,
which combines card-sorting with follow-up interviews.
