I’ve got the big book of Information Behaviour… and I can’t find the motivation to start reading
Here I am, on a two week break to read and write… and I just can’t get into this book:
Theories of Information Behavior (2005) edited by Karen E. Fisher, Sandra Erdelez, and Lynne McKechnie.
I know it’s an important publication, but I think I might be too intimidated to crack the cover.
I think I’ll [...]
Running with my Star Trek analogy
I had so much fun thinking about how to apply Star Trek to my understanding of research methodologies that I got a little carried away. I started to think about what I would do if I was presenting this in person as opposed to posting in an online class.
I think if I was doing [...]
Using a Star Trek analogy to make sense of the 3 approaches to research
Last week and this week in class, we are discussing the 3 approaches to research. I made a joke about one of the approaches, quantitative, as sounding like something Spock would do… and then it occurred to me to run with this idea.
Researchers are human and, as many classmates posted about, are probably deciding [...]

Blogging about research methodology using coursework as blog postings.

Firstly, my mark for that course is the lowest of that degree by a significant margin. Re-taking it [...]
I picked a good weekend for our wedding
I recently added a new webpage for my wedding website that lists all of the various events happening in the Yukon approximately a week before and after the wedding for those guests extending their visit.

The last quarter of the interview is missing. No idea why.
So, what type of articles do I want to be writing?
Yet another thing to consider as a writer is the question “what type of articles do I want to be writing?”
Good question.
Answer: “I don’t know, what are my choices?”
So, I went to the databases and to see if there was an article that would give me this answer. After all, shouldn’t we be publishing [...]
