- what we think we do –traditional library responsibilities in collections, instruction, and outreach
![Page 3: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
- first encounters –the need for someone to guide us in a new research environment
![Page 4: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
- key informants –people who can point you to resources, ideas, or people for your research

- a new place –faculty and students in a new campus or new project may need the librarian as ‘key informant’

Undergraduates
![Page 10: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Orient themselves with Wikipedia and Google (Colon-Aguirre & Fleming-May 2012)
• Use some resources well and miss others entirely (Cheney 1971)
• Seek friends before consulting librarians (Fleming-May & Yuro 2009)
• Perceived challenge is figuring out what the professors want (Leibiger 2011)
Undergraduates…

“First, I discuss it with my friends, maybe ask them, what is the relationship between these two? And
when I come to the internet… some people are sharing what
they think about it.” – Anel, Kazakh student
![Page 12: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Sometimes we find information but we don’t
know how to absorb it, how to analyze it. We get a lot of
tables—numbers, numbers, numbers, but… this kind of
stuff is difficult to analyze” – Nursultan, Kazakh student
![Page 13: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“[Students] don’t know how to use library
resources, don’t know how to differentiate sources.” – James, US anthropologist
![Page 14: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“You would need to rebrand the librarians as experts in particular areas… research
coaches… students can really benefit from a librarian who helps them think.” – Nathan, ethnographer in Kazakhstan

• Seek faculty & fellow students before librarians (Harrington 2009)
• Struggle with trying to read it all (Harrington 2009)
• Skip references that are hard to access (Kayongo & Helm 2010)
• Prefer to use remote-access (Kayongo & Helm 2010)
• Need help with using datasets and government docs (Gibbs et al 2012)
• Focus on publication & getting grants (Harrington 2009)

”Researchers today are buried, we can’t keep up with the important research… and we fall back on reading only the few top journals in our
field or articles by authors we know.” – Allie, anthro
graduate student
![Page 18: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
”Honestly, when I consulted our area librarian, did not find
the resources helpful. . . I used the libraries only as a source for obtaining books and articles and help with
EndNote” – Graciela, anthro grad student
![Page 19: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
”For linguistic anthropologists, more than coding software,
training on using transcription software would be helpful.” –
Mark, anthro grad student
![Page 20: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

other libraries.” — Ji-eun, Korean graduate student in
the US

“I was never taught formally how to use the library resources, so I didn’t know about their search methods... I tried to [seek] help
from the rest of my group, especially the native student.” –
Ryan, US student abroad
![Page 24: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

book search, with periodicals...” – Sauat, Kazakh graduate student in
the US

• Anthropologists seek ‘comparative, foreign, rare’ resources (Bachand 2013)
• Anthropologists make broad use of field data, pictures, maps (Hartmann 1995)
• Consult colleagues and bibliographies; librarians not a primary source of information (Folster 1995)
• Use peer feedback quite heavily at all stages of the research lifecycle (Shen 2013)
Social Science faculty…

“I use librarians for the classical stuff - searches of arcane
material and obtaining copies of otherwise rare sources.” -
Mike, R1 anthropology professor
![Page 28: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“I was just talking to a friend the other day about how the
way we use libraries has changed so much… we never physically go there, but we do rely on the librarians quite a
bit.” – Malika, R1 anthropology professor
![Page 29: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“One thing that comes up in promotion is how to document impact… one of the librarians
helped me [use] PlumX to capture internet citations… and put my published work in the campus archive” – Sarah, R1
anthropology professor
![Page 30: The liaison librarian: connecting with the qualitative research lifecycle](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c57f19bb61ebd95d8b471b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“We experimented with digitizing... field notes [into] a
fully digital qualitative database... storing them on… a 3.5 inch
floppy disk... Now, 13 years later, we have a shoebox of 3.5 inch disks with files saved in 1990s proprietary software.” – Lisa
Cliggett (2013), R1 anthropologist
