Research questions

![Page 12: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Research questions

Research questions
� Are there underlying factors facilitating or hindering their adoption of social media tools? E.g. Internet and IT infrastructure, knowledge, organisational policy, nature of work.
![Page 14: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Research questions

Why the research matters
![Page 18: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why the research matters
Because
social media
is a current reality
![Page 19: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why the research matters
� Growth of social media use
� Little/ no formal research on Southeast Asian librarians about their use & perceptions of social media
![Page 20: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why the research matters
� Current “Web 2.0” related articles cover on Institutions rather than Individual library professionals
� Uncover the Web 2.0 presence SEA librarians
![Page 21: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why the research matters
� We need to examine the relevance of social media tools in the pursuit of the library’s objectives.
� Before that, we need to understand how libraries and librarians are using social media, if at all.
![Page 22: Research proposal: Librarians 2.0: An investigation of Southeast Asian librarians’ social media practices and attitudes](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051209/547ba841b4af9fc9158b4f19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why the research matters
Possible research applications
� Develop a “Web 2.0 Core Competencies” framework for libraries
� Identify/ share best Social Media practices among SEA librarians

How will the study be carried out?
� Ideally TWO countries
Non-representative sample
� Written in English but research can be done in
native languages
