| contents | Ethnographic Methods in Academic Libraries: A Review Ramsden, Bryony Ethnography Academic Libraries Library Research Literature Reviews Research Methodology Data Collection Space Utilization Student Behavior Use Studies Research in academic libraries has recently seen an increase in the use of ethnographic-based methods to collect data. Primarily used to learn about library users and their interaction with spaces and resources, the methods are proving particularly useful to academic libraries. The data ethnographic methods retrieve is rich, context specific, and often difficult to collect via other methods. This review provides an overview of research demonstrating how ethnography can be applied to learn about a variety of issues in academic libraries, ranging from space use to a way of teaching new students about library resources and facilities. |
