ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 3
An environmental scan of Australian Library and Information Studies (LIS) research was undertaken focusing on the period 2005–2013.
This was in response to a brief from ALIA that sought such an analysis to inform its decisions in relation to content of a future research agenda, support, advocacy, and future funding.
The investigation was expected to include research priorities of other library and information organisations, topics of research undertaken in Australia, types of research, persons/organisations undertaking research, and how research activities are funded, communicated and applied.
It required a definition of the scope of LIS, and of what is understood by ‘research’.
The scope of LIS [Section 2.1] is expressed in Appendix A using a broad subject categorisation that is an extension of earlier work by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). It includes reference to documentation that is specifically applied in library and information services as well as material in areas such as information behaviour, information retrieval and knowledge management that may regularly applied in these areas.
Research [Section 2.2] is defined to include material embodying systematic method, as well as scholarship including commentary, critical essays, and reports on studies or achievements.
The scan also categorised identified material in terms of sector of application (eg public libraries), using an extension of ALIA’s characterisation of sectors. These sectors are also explained in Appendix E.
The scan took into account: research priorities of LIS professional associations both within and outside Australia; production of higher degree theses over the period; publication by practitioners and academics in both Australian and international publications; and grant or other support for research or investigatory projects.
METHODOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS
Methodologies employed included:
n Website analysis for research priorities of LIS organisations [Explained at Section 3.1];
n Database searching using Trove for higher degree theses [Explained at Section 4.1 and in Appendix C];
n Database searching using multiple databases for publications [Explained at Section 4.1 and in Appendices C, D];
n In the case of research in progress and resourcing via grants, methods employed were database searching, consultation and by survey methods [Explained in Section 5.1].
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
4 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
The limitations in these approaches are explained in each related Section or Appendix. However the major limitations were:
n Poor response to the online survey despite its wide dissemination through ALIA and other associations;
n Inconsistent responses to individual surveys directed specifically at academic departments;
n Coverage of publications by databases, particularly of material outside periodicals;
n Difficulties in categorising documents.
RESEARCH PRIORITIES OF OTHER LIS ORGANISATIONS [SECTION 3]
This was carried out principally by a review of publicly available information on websites of professional bodies. These are itemised in Appendix B and comprise LIS associations operating at national level in Australia, and international associations either with membership across countries, or working at a national level in a selection of individual countries.
Scanning was directed at two aspects: explicit statements about research that were articulated in the objectives, aims, strategy or other policy statements of an organisation, or its divisions; and practical support for research through activities exemplified by material provided by the different professional associations. Details are shown in Appendix B.
A number of areas of practical support for research were identified. These included elaboration of strategic directions; support for special interest groups; promotion of research methodologies; provision of case studies and white papers; awards for papers and theses; and provision and maintenance of resources and archives sites.
HIGHER DEGREE THESES [SECTION 4.2]
These are detailed in Appendix F. There were 115 dissertations identified of which 95 (83%) were at the Doctoral level. LIS schools were principally responsible for supervision of 72 (63%) of all the dissertations.
Most theses (41%) did not have a specified sector of application. The major specified sector of application was university & college with 27 (23%). Dissertations considered to have application in multiple sectors amounted to 10%.
Distribution of dissertations by subject category showed that major areas of investigation were information behaviour (28%), information literacy (14%), and management (13%).
Where research techniques were explicitly mentioned, either alone or mixed, predominant were interviewing which was employed 43 times (37%), survey or questionnaire (19%), and case study (14%).
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 5
A variety of methodological frameworks was used, none of which was dominant. These included grounded theory (5%), historical/historiography (4%), and phenomenography (4%).
PUBLICATIONS [SECTION 4.3]
Identification of publications depended mainly upon bibliographic database searching. It was supplemented to a limited extent by some direct reporting by academics.
Differentiation was made between work principally authored by practitioners and that authored by academics. We also differentiated between local and overseas publication, and paid particular attention to LIS periodicals identified in the ARC Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) exercise (Appendix G, H).
A tabulation is provided of Australian LIS journals identified on the ERA list along with 4 others that have a predominant LIS content. It shows that of the 1604 items published in these journals, 62% had as principal author a practitioner, 12% an Australian LIS academic and 5% an Australian academic from other than a LIS department. The remainder (20% rounded) had an overseas principal author.
When all identified local publications are taken into account (N=1944) the proportions are practitioners 60%, local LIS academics 14% and other local academics 6%. The remaining primary authorship is by overseas primary authors (20%).
There is a very wide distribution of publication in overseas journals (N=1604) with many specialist journals being utilised. The most favoured were Library Management (4%), Scientometrics (3%), and Information Research (~3%). Several periodicals with relatively high item counts are absent from the ERA lists.
Various tables show the distribution by subject for different affiliations. For example, of locally published material overall, practitioner publication was most widely found in management (22%), role (19%), information resources (14%) and information services (13%). Academics (based on combined figures for local academics whether or not in LIS) favoured management (14%), information literacy (15%), role (11%) and information behaviour (~11%).
For Australians publishing overseas, academics as primary author represent a much higher proportion (51%) of total Australians publishing than they do for publishing within Australia (20%). Of this overseas publishing academic total, slightly less than half is by Australian LIS academics.
The predominant concerns of the authors where an Australian academic is primary author are information behaviour (17%), informetrics (12%), and information retrieval (12%). However the main focus for Australian LIS academics is on information behaviour (21%), information literacy (14%) and education (11%). In contrast, practitioner emphasis was on management (22%), information resources (13%) and information services (12%).
6 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
With respect to Australian publications and an associated focus on particular sectors, the sectors are represented thus: public libraries 13%, records and archives 15%, school libraries 22%, state and national libraries 4%, special libraries 11%, university & college libraries 12%. The balance comprises material of relevance written with respect to no particular sector (9%), or across the library and archives sectors in general (15%).
Equivalent publication overseas is: public libraries 3%, records and archives 8%, school libraries 3%, state and national libraries 5%, special libraries 5%, university & college libraries 22%.
In the case of overseas publication the balance of unspecified material (15%) and material with multiple sector application (40%) is much greater.
GRANTS [SECTION 5.2]
Identification of support for research through grants was carried out via three avenues: (i) discovery of ARC grants through Australian Research Council databases, (ii) requests for information to university LIS departments, and (iii) a survey administered through ALIA’s Survey Monkey account and which was aimed primarily at practitioners.
We are confident of achieving inclusive coverage of ARC material as detailed in Appendix J, however the collective responses from academics in Australian LIS departments and the practitioner survey are limited (Appendix K, L). Consequently the data corpus, while illustrative, is not necessarily representative of LIS.
There were 21 ARC grants for the period identified as being at least partially in LIS scope. Most of these covered either unspecified or multiple sectors of application. Academics outside LIS departments were awarded 9 of these grants and 7 were awarded to academics jointly within and outside LIS departments. Four of the grants involved practitioners from the LIS area.
Information resources may be considered the area of most success in being awarded ARC grants.
Where we sought information directly from the universities on additional grants, the principal areas addressed in the 72 grants reported were management and information literacy. Specific sectors were addressed in just 22% of cases. In most cases multiple sectors or unspecified sectors were the primary concern.
Of those reported grants that were judged to be in scope, the funding, when stated, varied widely: from $650 (information resources) to ~$477,000 (information literacy from a private benefactor). The other grant in excess of $200,000 was an Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) grant in education.
Where funding source was stated, 40% of the grants were internal to the universities, 28% from external non-government sources, and 24% from external government sources.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 7
With grants and projects as reported by practitioners, the subject emphasis was widely distributed, but without the emphasis on management, information literacy and information behaviour shown in the academic area. However the small number of usable items reported (N=30) means that this data should be used with caution.
Projects reported by practitioners were principally in the state and national sector (43%). Predominant subject areas addressed were information resources and information services.
Research approaches adopted were qualitative (17%), quantitative (20%) and mixed (57%). The only technique mentioned in greater than 10% of investigations was survey (67%), which was occasionally combined with other techniques.
Respondents were given the opportunity to suggest areas of research needed. A limited number of suggestions were made. Examples itemised in the report refer to such subject areas as library management, information behaviour and information retrieval.
CONCLUDING REMARKS [SECTION 6]
In Section 6 of the report we take the opportunity to show how the data summarised above, and shown in detail in the report and its Appendices, throws light on the questions outlined in the project brief. In that section we address specific questions in the project brief. Here we give a digest of those comments:
n The research landscape for LIS researchers in Australia is illustrated in the summary Tables in Sections 4, 5 and associated Appendices.
As ‘a landscape’ it cannot effectively be summarised, and the graphical material needs to be directly considered. However the topography of LIS sectors shows that all sectors are represented in published documents, although thesis material is predominantly in unspecified sectors.
Subject matter emphasis is different in completed theses (where information behaviour predominates) from periodical and other literature where the contributions of practitioners show stronger emphasis on management and role.
Significant research and publication relevant to LIS is also generated from outside Australian LIS departments.
n The management and role subject areas are those of most concern in published work.
n As an indicator of themes for future research, ARC grants have been most successful in the information resources area. Other areas of research funding provided no specific indicators. A preliminary analysis of publishing trends also provided no illumination, though publishing variation over time could be investigated more thoroughly using the collected data.
8 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
n Mixed method approaches predominated in research approaches, with a variety of analytical frameworks and techniques being employed. For practitioners survey was the preferred technique.
n The outputs being produced are principally publications and theses as indicated in Sections 4.2.3. Applications and implementations associated with these would require detailed reading of the documents. Some outcomes from practitioner grants are reported in Part B of Appendix K.
n Success in obtaining grants (in which information resources predominates for ARC) is an indicator of areas that need to be researched. It may be argued that unsuccessful grant applications also indicate gaps, however we did not elicit such data.
n It is not possible to be prescriptive about ‘significant areas of research needed’. This is a political question arising from LIS professional strategy, along with capacity in the profession. We trust that the overview of what is presently being produced will help to inform an approach. Practitioner suggestions itemised in Section 5.3 related to areas such as management, information behaviour, and information organisation.
n Evidence that exists for the impact of research on practice arises from implementations arising from grants, and from research applications stated in papers. This requires more detailed examination of the grant outcomes and publication content than is possible in a scan.
n Suggestions for better articulation and dissemination of research results are provided in examples given in Section 3.2, which references Appendix B.
n Academic/practitioner outputs may be compared in the various tables and data that differentiate research product by affiliation. In the case of academics they are further differentiated into those in or outside of LIS departments.
n Research training is available in each of the 9 universities that graduates LIS PhDs.
n Additional training may be provided through CPD for particular techniques such as survey method or statistical analysis. Collaboration between academics and practitioners including mentoring is also a training avenue.
n An overview of research funding is provided in Section 5.2.1 with Appendix J, Section 5.2.2 with Appendix K and Section 5.2.3 with Appendix L.
University staff may seek research funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Relatively few research grants have been awarded in the LIS area. Of those that have, many are shared across academic areas. In addition, the majority of LIS related research grants awarded have been led by academics outside LIS departments.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 9
Other academic funding for research activities was obtained from a wide range of sources. These included specific funds set up within a university to support research in that institution; teaching and learning grants; overseas agencies with which an academic had an association; library organisations; commercial entities; and private benefactors.
Practitioner support to the extent that it was made explicit was obtained from library organisations.
However, overall we consider that both academic and practitioner funding have been under-reported.
n The funding sources illustrated in the above Appendices are complemented by those itemised in the Australian competitive grants register.
n Sources for future funding additional to the above include support programs at different levels of government. We are unaware of a public register of these although universities maintain such registers for their own internal purposes.
10 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
In October 2013, ALIA commissioned an environmental scan of Library and Information Studies (LIS) research. Its objective was to use the results of the study as a basis for further research, and to inform ALIA’s decisions in relation to the detailed content of a future research agenda, support and advocacy, and future funding. This report provides the results of the environmental scan, which covers the period from 2005 to 2013 and comprises:
n A survey of the research priorities of other LIS organisations.
n Analysis of research undertaken and underway with focus upon:
n Communication and application of research findings:
n Higher degree outcomes;
n Publication outputs;
n Practice-based applications;
n Alternative forms of communication;
n Sources of funding and their utilisation.
1. INTRODUCTION
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 11
2.1 SUBJECT MATTER
Defining the scope of LIS, and establishing categories into which to place material, are each problematic.
Our aim was to build upon earlier work that had been done in this area, and adapt it to more contemporary work being produced. Thereby we would both corroborate with terminology being used by indexing and abstracting services, and utilise a relatively limited number of terms that may be used for manageable survey purposes.
Our resulting groupings owe something to the outline reported to IFLA in an earlier approach to LIS categorisation (Rochester and Vakkari 2004). However we have departed from their work in order to respond to the cross-section of materials being researched, and to attempt to be more definitive about what is included and excluded.
Still, value judgements were often required. As guidance, we established Appendix A: Broad subject categorisation for classification of subject content.
With respect to data collection for dissertations and publications, we attempted to identify such material whether or not it has been produced in the professional LIS environment. However differentiation is made between authoring sources, based upon institution in which work was undertaken, or affiliations provided.
The initial commission was to include material up to the ends of 2013. After consultation with project manager, it was agreed that some 2014 material could also be included if found. However this most recent material is by no means inclusive as much material from this year is yet to be reported in secondary services.
Examination of publication and thesis sources was carried out during the period February–June 2014. Most of these sources are databases that are dynamic in nature, and have varying delays in reporting data. Therefore the material identified by them cannot be regarded as having a consistent time frame.
2. SCOPE OF ANALYSIS
12 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
2.2 RESEARCH DEFINITION
Typically, research is defined along the lines of investigations involving systematic method and study of materials and sources in order to establish new conclusions or concepts. A similar definition was used in an earlier investigation of two Australian library journals (Rochester 1995).
However, for the purposes of this scan we have also included significant items of scholarship where commentary, critical essays, studies or achievements (such as implementations of novel procedures) are reported at a professional or para-professional level.
Our main avenue for identifying this material was through publication. However by complementing this with survey material we endeavoured also to identify practice-based applications and alternative forms of communication.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 13
3.1 METHOD OF ANALYSIS
This was carried out principally by a review of publicly available information on websites of professional bodies. Scanning was directed at two aspects:
n Explicit statements about research that were articulated in the objectives, aims, strategy or other policy statements of an organisation, or by specific sections of the organisation that were established with a research focus;
n Practical support for research through activities such as:
n Publication of research and scholarly discourse, for example through journals or conferences;
n Provision of Resource sites or pages that provide links to relevant databases or research material;
n Maintenance of repositories that archive material produced by the association and its members;
n Provision of support and encouragement through awards and grants that assist research.
The results are shown in Appendix B: Professional Association research involvement.
3.2 SUMMARY OF SCAN
The Tables in Appendix B are organised firstly by Australian Associations, then a sample of the International Associations that were examined. Where appropriate, links have been included in the Tables so that the reader may consult directly the relevant website material. This Appendix is constructed so that it may be readily adapted to build a Web resource should ALIA wish to use it that way.
Articulation of research priorities varies considerably, though organisations in general do not specify specific priorities within their professional ambit.
A summary of ALIA’s own approach is included. It can be seen that it compares favourably with that of the range of other organisations. However in developing the research agenda, the following entries in the Table warrant special attention:
n Strategic directions in the manner of ALISE;
n Support for Special Interest Groups that have an emphasis on research, such as undertaken by ASI&ST;
n Promotion of research methodologies, for example as expressed by ALA in its goals;
3. RESEARCH PRIORITIES OF OTHER LIS ORGANISATIONS
14 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
n Case studies/white papers in the manner employed by AIIM. Although not necessarily LIS-oriented in AIIM’s case, such an approach might be emulated by ALIA by making available LIS case study or best practice material through a repository;
n Awards for papers and theses in the manner of ASI&ST;
n Facilitation of resources site specific to research, perhaps as aspired to by IASL through its objectives/potential activities;
n Maintenance of a research archive. Many of the Associations provide members with access to their own publications. ALIA’s arrangements in this respect remain uncoordinated. Some material is available through ALIA’s website, while some is obtained through aggregators*.
*When undertaking the database searching that is detailed in Section 4, we encountered in the databases many dead links to AARL and
ALJ material which purported to be accessible through ALIA. If a repository is to be maintained by ALIA elsewhere, it is important to facilitate
redirection from these links which are presently inactive.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 15
4.1 METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Data for this section are based upon:
n Analysis of higher degree theses reported through Trove complemented by consultation with LIS departments in Australian Universities.
n Analysis of publications reported in the databases:
n APAFT (for Informaa and IQ material only);
n Hein (for Australian Law Librarian);
n Informit: A+Education;
n Informit: Health (for Health Inform);
n LISA: Library and Information Science Abstracts;
n LISTA: Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts;
n LLIS: Library Literature & Information Science;
n WoS: Web of Science.
n Analysis of survey responses.
4.1.1 THESIS IDENTIFICATION
The theses were aggregated by merging those discovered with Trove with additional theses reported by University LIS departments. Some of the theses reported (including those of some LIS staff) were excluded from the aggregation as they were deemed to be outside the scope of LIS as defined in Appendix A.
Some of the dissertations were also found when database searching, but these were excluded from the database files and recorded only in the theses file.
Trove searches were conducted using a strategy (Appendix C: LIS search hedge) containing various keywords that were considered relevant to LIS. Theses emanating from Honours, Masters, and Doctorate study programs were included.
Each keyword was searched individually (eg information behaviour, information literacy) using the ‘Subject’ field in the Advanced Search in order to ensure the number of results retrieved in each instance was manageable and facilitated scrutiny.
In some instances only limited details were available for LIS theses. This applied particularly to material on methodology.
4. COMMUNICATION OF RESEARCH FINDINGS
16 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
Differentiating LIS theses produced in academic LIS Departments from those produced elsewhere was challenging and often not possible from metadata. Where necessary and possible the data were obtained from a digital copy of the dissertation itself.
Although the broad subject categorisation (Appendix A) was used to determine criteria for inclusion, there were examples (in the areas of knowledge management and information retrieval in particular) where decisions about relevance were problematic. In general we erred on the side of exclusion.
Despite limiting results from 2005 onwards, search outcomes retrieved entries that were outside the project scope due to duplication in the publication year field for some theses.
4.1.2 DATABASE SEARCHING
The bibliographic database analysis involved searching of the databases using the same strategy shown in Appendix C: LIS search hedge but varied according to database search capabilities and search elements.
Earlier analysis of databases has been carried out seeking material written by academics and searching for academics by name in databases. This work considered the period 1975–2006 (Willard, Kennan et al. 2008) and then 1967–2008 (Wilson, Boell et al. 2011). Although this work excludes material by practitioners or other than LIS academics, it is useful for comparing with the overlapping period of this study.
Individual files were produced for each of the searched databases then aggregated in three merged Endnote files respectively containing:
n Australian ‘core’ material drawn from journals which have a subject scope primarily in the LIS area and including those journals selected for ERA listing (Lamp 2010 –);
n Overseas published material where Australian contributors have been identified;
n Australian ‘extras’ material comprising references published in other Australian sources*.
* Australian conference material is included if it has been identified in the database searching, but there is very limited coverage by the
aggregated databases of individual papers from Information Online, VALA, RMAA/ASA, RAILS etc. A limited number of additional references
were added based upon lists of publications provided by some academics.
Developing the list of reference lists from the databases presented a number of challenges. In order to identify material of relevance to the scan, different search strategies were adopted for each database. These strategies are identified in Appendix D: Analysis of references in databases.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 17
Although some databases indicated whether included records were refereed or not, it was problematic in many cases to differentiate refereed/non-refereed work. In any case, many non-refereed items could be included on the basis of scholarship. Decisions to include or exclude items were generally based upon metadata (full bibliographic records) provided using the Appendix A criteria. Complete documents were consulted on occasions to resolve classification or affiliation issues that were not made clear by metadata.
The lack of standardization between databases, meant that elimination of duplication of material, and elimination of material according to criteria of irrelevance proved difficult and time-consuming.
The database inconsistencies of expression for the same reference included:
n Variations in titles through use of subtitles or punctuation or spelling;
n Variations in author names through use of initials, inversion of names or incompleteness;
n Variations in publication source names through different spelling or abbreviation of journal titles;
n Variations in pagination.
Although the multiple database search produced a great deal of duplication. It also identified much material that may be regarded as outside scope of the analysis and was therefore eliminated making use of Appendix A and Appendix D criteria.
Nevertheless there is material that may be missed, particularly from conference publications that do not appear in journals or sections of books that database creators may avoid or cover only partially. Therefore some material was added to the files based upon publications lists notified by a few academics. ‘In press’ items were not included.
The Australian ‘core’ material may be considered reasonably inclusive for the period, bearing in mind the various deletions of material based upon the criteria given in Appendix D. The Australian ‘extras’ material and overseas published material cannot be regarded as comprehensive but is wide-ranging and should suitably indicate the overall distribution of such material by affiliation, sector and subject matter.
The Endnote files that contain all of the data are itemised in Section 7.2. These files include all of the duplicated material, but may be viewed with or without duplicates. They lend themselves to a great deal more analysis than has been possible during the environmental scan.
18 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
The files may be used to:
n Identify material from different databases;
n Carry out sector and subject (either as assigned by us, or by keywords from respective databases) searches;
n Aggregate material by year of publication;
n Examine works of particular authors;
n Sort material by affiliation of authors.
Following is an illustration of the way records have been categorised within one of the merged files:
FIGURE 1: EXTRACT FROM ENDNOTE AUSTRALIAN ‘EXTRAS’ FILE
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 19
The first three columns are derived as follows:
n Ac/Prac refers to affiliations of writers differentiated as:
n A: Australian academic or student writing within an LIS Department;
n O: Australian academic or student in an academic Department other than one focussed on LIS (students using their workplace as an affiliation are recorded as P);
n P: Australian practitioner (including staff in higher education not in academic departments) and information professionals outside library or repository environment;
n X: Overseas contributors to Australian publications (no differentiation is made between academics and practitioners), or co-publishing with Australians in overseas publications.
n Subject refers to an assessment of the primary subject content of the document using the categories from Appendix A .
n Sector refers to the area of the profession that seems most applicable to the item. The sectors used are an extension of ALIA’s own sectors as elaborated in Appendix E: LIS Sectors.
The range of publication in which LIS academics publish is wide. Their utility and relative importance has been debated in relation to such mechanisms as journal rankings. Considerable effort has been undertaken to establish priorities for academic publication with respect to government funding (Smith 2011).
Although core periodicals have been identified and ‘tiers’ assigned to emphasise journal importance, such ranking remains contentious, particularly in relation to specialist (niche) or geographically-oriented publication.
When practitioner publishing is taken into account, the avenues of publication become still more diffuse. There is less emphasis on refereeing requirements, further dispersion of publication, typically though publications of the profession for which LIS professionals are providing services (engineering, sciences , health, etc), and more attention to examples of practice rather than methodology of research.
20 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
4.2 SUMMARY OF SCAN FOR HIGHER DEGREES
The higher degree thesis listing is shown in full at Appendix F: Higher degree theses.
This material acts as a follow-up to earlier work that reports Australian LIS thesis output up to 2006 (Macauley, Evans et al. 2010)
The theses are differentiated into:
n A: those supervised principally within a department working in the LIS Professional field;
n O: those supervised principally within a department in a field Other than LIS, but where the subject under consideration is within the scope of LIS.
Current higher degree thesis enrolments are based upon reports provided by LIS departments. No attempt was made to identify current LIS enrolments in other Faculties.
Table 1 summarises the material in the Appendix. Of the 115 dissertations identified, 95 (83%) were at the Doctoral level. LIS Schools were principally responsible for supervision of 72 (63%) of all the dissertations. A significant number (approximately a third) of relevant works, were therefore supervised from outside the LIS academic environment.
Most theses (41%) did not have a specified sector of application. The major sector of application was university and college with 27 (23%). Dissertations seen to have application in multiple sectors amounted to 10%.

The distribution of dissertations by subject category is shown in Table 2. The major areas of investigation were information behaviour (28%), information literacy (14%), and management (13%).
Social media is shown as a subject in the Table although not defined in Appendix A, because we were asked specifically to identify work in this area. However there were no theses identified that focused on it in the LIS area.

We endeavoured to identify methodology employed in dissertations. From metadata alone this was often not possible or uncertain. It was also not necessarily clear whether an overall methodological framework (eg grounded theory) was being differentiated from the particular techniques being used to obtain data (eg interview).
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 23
That said, of those theses where some indication was given, over half (N=53) employed mixed methods. This is less than half (46%) of the total theses listed, as methods for many were not determined. However it was not always clear which methods were being mixed.
Of particular techniques mentioned, either alone or mixed, interviewing was employed 43 times (37%), survey or questionnaire 22 (19%), and case study 16 (14%). Other examples of techniques used were focus groups, media monitoring and observation.
A variety of methodological frameworks was used, none of which was dominant. These included grounded theory 6 (5%), historical/historiography 5 (4%), phenomenography 5 (4%). Others used included action research, critical incident, and ethnography.
Much more analysis using the full dissertations would be required to determine all methodologies employed and itemise them for subject areas.
LIS Schools were asked about current enrolments (i.e. research in progress). From the limited response, insufficient information was provided overall to enable categorisation into sectors and subject areas. The total number of students presently undertaking LIS research in those Departments which provided data is 53 (Doctoral 45; Masters 8).
However this figure is presumably somewhat less than the LIS total as it includes responses from just five Departments.
4.3 SUMMARY OF SCAN FOR PUBLICATIONS
A number of Tables follow. They have been created from spreadsheets derived from the three Endnote files referred to in Section 4.1.
Table 3 shows material from journals published in Australia where the primary orientation of content is towards LIS. The material is broken down by primary author affiliation (ie the first named author). It provides an indication of whether this first named author had an Australian or overseas affiliation. In the case of Australian authors they are further divided into practitioners or academics.
Local academics (A) are differentiated into those who were in ALIA LIS-accredited Departments at the time of authorship, as distinct from all other academics (O) from Australian tertiary institutions.
Practitioners are not differentiated. The overwhelming majority are information professionals. However a small amount of LIS material by other professionals, for example architects or lawyers or public administrators, is included here. It was too difficult to differentiate consistently by role based upon limited affiliation information.
For overseas authors no differentiation is made between academics and practitioners.
24 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
The tabulation shows Australian LIS journals identified on the ERA list along with 4 others that have a predominant LIS content. It shows that of the 1604 items published in these journals, 62% had as principal author a practitioner, 12% an Australian LIS academic and 5% an Australian academic from other than a LIS Department. The remainder (20% rounded) had an overseas principal author.

Table 4 following uses the same codes for affiliation but identifies additional Australian publications carrying LIS material reported in the searched databases. As noted in Section 4.1.2 much of this material is not covered by the bibliographic databases. Conference papers and reports in particular may be regarded as ‘grey literature’ for which there will be significant omissions.

ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 27
There is a very wide distribution of publication (N=1604) with many specialist journals being utilised. The most favoured were Library Management (4%), Scientometrics (3%), and Information Research (~3%). As illustrated in Table 6, several periodicals with relatively high item counts are absent from the ERA lists.
Analysis of published material by assigned subject category is illustrated in the following tables. Just one primary category has been assigned per document, normally based upon document metadata (titles, indexing, keywords, categories).
The data provides a useful indication of the distribution of subject emphasis. However we should qualify their accuracy by noting the difficulty in consistently applying a primary category when several categories may possibly be employed for an individual document. We endeavoured to achieve better consistency through frequent consultation concerning scope and categories.
The following Table 7 illustrates that local practitioner publication (N=1002) was most widely in management (23%), role (19%), information resources (14%) and information services (~13%). Academics (based on combined figures for local academics, N=284) favoured management (15%), information behaviour (12%) and information resources (~12%).

The following Table 8 shows the equivalent distributions for material published in Australia through publishing outlets other than the core ones identified for the previous Table 7. Information literacy is much more prominent in these publications than for the core ones, particularly for academics for whom education is also prominent along with role.
For practitioners management and role continue to be prominent along with information literacy.
This Table also shows substantial publication in Australia by overseas authors on information literacy.

In Table 9 following, the combined figures for local Australian publication are provided.
These show that overall local practitioner publication (N=1157) was most widely in management (22%), role (19%), information resources (14%) and information services (13%). Academics (based on combined figures for local academics, N=381) favoured management (14%), information literacy (15%), role (11%) and information behaviour (~11%).
The extent of publication focusing on social media (3%) is identified within the Table. However its contribution to total figures is already included from its use in conjunction with any of the other identified subjects.
This Table also indicates the considerable amount of publishing in LIS in Australia by overseas authors. Of the local material, 21% has an overseas primary author.
The Endnote files as constituted, lend themselves to further analysis. For example, they may be used to determine:
n Extent of co-publication by practitioners and academics;
n Extent of co-publication by local and overseas authors;
n Analysis of subject distribution in specific sectors;
n Publication in closely peripheral areas to LIS (eg aspects of information retrieval or knowledge management) that we excluded from the analysis;
n Extent of publication in non-ERA publications.

Table 10 shows that publishing by Australian academics as primary author overseas represents a much higher proportion (51%) of total Australian overseas publishing than their corresponding 20% figure from the local publishing shown in Table 9. Of this overseas publishing academic total, slightly less than half is by Australian LIS academics. The data in Table 10 also show a 9% contribution (N=109) from an overseas primary author. These are included because authors with Australian affiliation have also contributed as co-authors of the material.
The predominant concerns of the authors where an Australian academic is the primary author (N=595) are information behaviour (17%), informetrics (12%), and information retrieval (12%).
However for Australian LIS academics (N=291) the subjects of attention are information behaviour (21%), information literacy (14%) and education (11%).
In contrast, practitioner (N=461) emphasis was on management (22%), information resources (13%) and information services (12%).

The three following Tables show the distribution by Sector of material captured in the Endnote files, that is ‘core’ material published in Australia, other Australian publication, and overseas publication according to sector.
With respect to publication in Australia the combined total (N=1944), from Tables 11 and 12, focus on particular sectors are represented thus: public libraries 13%, records and archives 15%, school libraries 22%, state and national libraries 4%, special libraries 11%, university and college libraries 12%.
The balance comprises material of relevance written with respect to no particular sector (9%), or across the library and archives sectors in general (15%).
Equivalent publication overseas (N=1165) from Table 13 is: public libraries (3%), records and archives (8%), school libraries (3%), state and national libraries (5%), special libraries (5%), university and college libraries (22%).
In this case the balance of unspecified material (15%) and material with multiple sector application (40%) is much greater [NB: all figures are rounded].

ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 37
5.1 METHOD OF ANALYSIS
This was carried out as follows:
n A review of grants awarded at national level in the field of LIS by reference to the Australian Competitive Grants Program (ACGR). Funding provided for LIS research in what we considered to be the two most likely funding schemes was examined: (i) Australian Research Council and (ii) Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT). We relied for reporting of other grants via the consultation and survey mentioned next;
n Consultation with LIS departments in Australian Universities. This was undertaken by a preliminary telephone call followed by emailing a structured attachment so that material could be provided in a consolidated manner for input to spreadsheet. Unfortunately only one University subsequently provided information in this form. Of those others that did respond information was provided in a variety of piecemeal ways meaning that consolidation of material was difficult and any pretence at completeness was impossible;
n Survey of the LIS profession, the survey form (Appendix I: Survey form) being created using Survey Monkey at the ALIA account site. Requests for input to it were made via:
n ALIA weekly news;
n ALIA INCITE (accompanying an article on the environmental scan);
n Request for input at research seminar in Perth;
n Requests for distribution via email lists to:
n Australian Law Librarians Association;
n Australian School Library Association;
n Australian Society of Archivists;
n Council of Australian University Librarians;
n National and State Libraries Australasia;
n Public Libraries Australia.
The form went through a number of tests and iterations before being delivered. It was simplified in an attempt to minimise completion times and to reduce confusion of terminology. The ‘area of focus’ question is based upon classification adopted in Appendix A: Broad subject categorisation and the ‘sector’ question is based upon sectors defined in Appendix E: LIS Sectors.
5. SOURCES OF FUNDING AND THEIR UTILISATION
38 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
In their applications, ARC applicants are asked to classify proposals with a number of 6-digit codes from the (i) Fields of Research (FOR) or Research fields, courses and disciplines (RFCD) and (ii) Socio-Economic Objectives (SEO), and to indicate the proportion of the research content that is attributable to each of these codes.
Tables of FOR/RFCD and SEO codes were examined to identify and extract codes of relevance to LIS. Codes classified as relevant to the discipline of LIS as detailed in Appendix A.
Publically available datasets from the ARC were interrogated to retrieve projects where funding was allocated since 2005.
Projects where at least 60% of the proportion of research content classified to LIS related codes were identified for further examination. Project summaries were then reviewed to establish if the project was in fact undertaking research in the LIS field.
In some instances, projects met with the inclusion criteria of 60% of research content classified to LIS, but upon further scrutiny, were considered to be outside the scope of LIS research. Typically this included projects that were identified as focussing on information systems that manipulate information, rather than aspects of the nature of information or the practice of librarianship. An illustrative example of a project that was considered to be out-of-scope is shown at the bottom of Appendix J following the Table.
Requests for research grant information from University LIS departments led to the information that is displayed in Appendix K: Academic Research funding. The Appendix shows information only pertaining to grants that we judged to be in scope of LIS as set down in Appendix A.
A further 20 grants we deemed to be out of scope and 17 additional items reported were excluded for lack of sufficient information to make a decision.
Only 42 responses were received for the survey despite its wide dissemination. Of these only 30 were utilised for practitioner research data. The remaining entries had already been included in academic data, or were deemed out of scope.

5.2 SUMMARY OF SCAN FOR ACADEMIC GRANTS
5.2.1 ARC GRANTS
The analysis of ARC projects is shown in Appendix J: ARC grants. Being able to reduce the data in the Appendix to a useful summary is awkward because most of the grants are multidisciplinary and shared across different sectors and subject categories, and involve a combination of LIS and non-LIS academics.
From ARC data it is difficult to determine the affiliation and contribution of each party. There are usually multiple parties, so the variations in affiliation are used as follows:
n A: Australian academics all within an LIS Department;
n O: Australian academics all in academic Department other than LIS;
n OA: Combination of O and A;
n OP: Combination of O with Australian LIS practitioner;
n AX: Combination of A with overseas academic.

Table 15 shows that there were 21 ARC grants for the period identified as being at least partially in LIS scope. Most of these covered either unspecified or multiple sectors of application. Academics outside LIS departments were awarded 9 of these grants and 7 were awarded to academics jointly within and outside LIS departments. Four of the grants involved practitioners from the LIS area.

5.2.2 OTHER ACADEMIC GRANTS
The results are shown in Appendix K: Academic Research funding. As these grants were all awarded principally to academics in LIS Departments (i.e. ‘A’), our Table 17 doesn’t show affiliation. Instead it tabulates Subject Area by Sector.
Unlike previous tables, the subject ‘social media’ is not shown as a subset of other possible subjects here. This is because there was insufficient information reported in these cases that would identify the grant as one of the subjects itemised in Appendix A.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 41
It can be seen in Appendix K that information is in many cases incomplete. It is sourced from those universities that were running LIS courses for at least part of the period from 2005 to the present. In many cases there were partial or non-responses. Funding information and completion year is not always available. There are other data available, for example grantees, in the research data file listed at Section 7.3.
It may be seen from Table 17 that principal areas addressed in the 72 grants reported were management and information literacy. Specific sectors were addressed in just 22% of cases. In most cases multiple sectors or unspecified sectors were the primary concern.
Of reported grants that were judged to be in scope, the funding, when stated, varied widely: from $650 (information resources) to ~$477,000 (information literacy from a private benefactor). The other grant in excess of $200,000 was an Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) grant in education.
Where funding source was stated, 40% of the grants were internal to the universities, 28% from external non-government sources, and 24% from external government sources.

5.2.3 PRACTITIONER FUNDING
The survey responses relating to practitioner-based projects and the way they are communicated are shown in Appendix L: Projects reported in survey. That Appendix is divided into a Part A and a Part B in order to present comparison with Appendix K along with overviews of descriptions of projects.
A summary of the content in terms of sector and subject is shown in Table 18. In the work reported by practitioners there is a marked difference in emphasis by sector in relation to the state and national sector (whereas most emphasis in the academic work reported was across multiple sectors).
As reported by practitioners, the subject emphasis was widely distributed, but without the emphasis on information behaviour, information literacy and management shown in the academic area.
Reported projects were principally in the state and national sector (43%). Predominant subject areas addressed were information resources and information services.

ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 43
Research approaches adopted were qualitative (17%), quantitative (20%) and mixed (57%). The only technique mentioned in greater than 10% of investigations was survey (67%) sometimes combined with other techniques.
Respondents were given the opportunity to suggest areas where research was needed. Considering the limited number of responses received, it is not possible to ascertain how representative of the profession they may be. Example were:
n User metrics afforded by new LMS functionality;
n Feasibility of introducing a ‘Reading Level’ facet to information databases;
n Information behaviour on smart phones and tablets, with aim to improve the usability of discovery layers on these devices;
n User feedback with search interface usage reports/analytics;
n Repository staff training;
n Collection analysis methods being used by research;
n Meta-analysis of user studies or impact of digitisation of collections;
n Health information behaviours.
44 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
The scan provides a wealth of data, but the variability in the description of the data makes it difficult to reduce to digestible summarisation.
Section 2 endeavoured to show how we demarcated the scope of LIS. However as has been pointed out earlier, there remain problematic areas for inclusion. In the case of research projects we have provided an example of exclusion to illustrate this difficulty. There were many research projects reported by LIS academics that we elected to exclude from the analysis based upon the chosen subject criteria.
With respect to theses, there were also examples reported by or undertaken by LIS academics that we excluded based upon the chosen subject criteria.
In the case of publications, exclusions were made on the basis of the same subject criteria as for grants and theses, but also based upon the extent and nature of the publication. The basis for making these judgments is shown within Appendix D.
The responses to both the online survey and from specific requests to academic institutions were inadequate in terms of providing a reasonably comprehensive overview of research projects. However the material gathered does provide a flavour that may be compared with the more comprehensive theses and publication data.
The Project brief sought illumination of a number of areas. The following remarks show to what extent we feel that we have been able to address these:
n What does the research landscape look like for library and information studies researchers in Australia?
This is illustrated in the summary Tables in Sections 4 and 5 and in detail in the Appendices from which they have been drawn.
As ‘a landscape’ it cannot effectively be summarised, and the graphical material needs to be directly considered. However the topography of LIS sectors shows that all sectors are represented in published documents, although thesis material is predominantly in unspecified sectors.
Subject matter emphasis is different in completed theses (where information behaviour predominates) from periodical and other literature where the contributions of practitioners show stronger emphasis on management and role.
Significant research and publication relevant to LIS is generated from outside the Australian LIS departments.
n What areas, fields or categories are most heavily researched in Australia?
This varies depending upon whether grants, dissertations or publication is taken as the best indicator. However from publication data the management and role subjects are the areas of most concern in published work.
6. CONCLUDING REMARKS
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 45
n What are the emerging areas/themes for future research in Australia?
There are two ways in which emerging themes may be identified — grants and publications over time. Successful grant applications provide an indicator by showing areas for which there is support for investigation. ARC grants have been most successful in the information resources area. Being ARC grants, they provide an indicator of national priorities.
Other academic research funding showed support for information literacy, management, information behaviour and informetrics, all at about the same level. However it is pointless to read much into this, given firstly that much of the non-ARC support was not reported to us; and secondly, much of what is supported is by internal grants that support the disciplines, and in some cases are administered by the academics in their respective universities. They do not necessarily reflect wider priorities from outside the institutions.
We did some investigation by timeline of some of the subject areas in the Endnote files and detected no significant variation on a year-by-year basis. However, such an analysis could be made much more detailed given the format of the Endnote files that have been constructed — assuming more resources can be justified to carry it out.
n What research methods (including qualitative and quantitative approaches) are being used by researchers in Australian library and information studies?
Methodologies employed in higher degree work are outlined in Section 4.2. Mixed methods approaches are favoured, and no methodological framework predominates.
Similarly for practitioners (Section 5.3.3 and associated Appendix K), mixed method predominates, little mention is made of methodological framework and survey was the preferred technique.
n What outputs are being produced?
Publications and theses may be regarded as outputs, and their extent is as indicated in Sections 4.2–3.
Applications and implementations associated with these would require detailed reading of the documents. Grant awards similarly would require analysis of reports arising from grants, though there are known successful implementations such as Austlit in the information resources area.
Part B of Appendix K provides project summaries of practitioner grants reported from the survey. These are principally in information resources and information services.
n What are the gaps and issues?
To some extent the success in obtaining grants is an indicator of areas that need to be researched. It would no doubt be argued by unsuccessful grant applicants that their areas of interest also indicate gaps. However, data on unsuccessful grant applications was not obtained as part of the scan.
46 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
In the survey we asked for information on areas in which respondents would like to see research done. Section 5.3.3 itemises some of the responses received.
At one point we examined ALIA Course returns to try to determine information about grants. We did not find them very informative — after all, they are focused on courses. However they might in future be restructured to elicit more detail on grants obtained and on grants sought, to get an indication of research priorities.
n What are the significant areas of research needed?
Based on the corpus of data obtained, it is not possible to be prescriptive about this. ‘Significant areas of research needed’ is a political question arising from LIS professional strategy, together with the capabilities of the academy, practitioners and associated resources that would be required.
We trust that the overview of what is presently being produced will help to inform an approach.
n What evidence exists of the impact of research on the practice of the profession?
This evidence should arise from implementations arising from grants, and from research applications stated in papers. Our analysis has not taken us that far.
We feel that the scan is a precursor to such an analysis which would require examination of the actual grant outcomes and inspection of content of publications to provide an overview.
n How can research results and potential application be better articulated and demonstrated to a wider audience?
The information of most relevance here comes from the examples given in Section 3.2 and Appendix B of research strategy and dissemination by professional associations.
n Who is conducting research into library and information studies in Australia (eg disciplinary spread, types of researchers — academics, practitioners, students independent researchers, consultants)?
The various Tables and data differentiate research product by affiliation so that academic/practitioner outputs may be compared.
In the case of academics they are further differentiated into those in or outside of LIS departments. We could not differentiate students from academics in departments because at the research level they are often in both roles.
As noted in Section 4.3 we could not reliably differentiate practitioners by affiliation, as available metadata often did not make the organisational role explicit.
ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT 47
We also provided data on overseas authors (irrespective of affiliation) contributing to Australian publication, and international papers with overseas primary authorship where there was Australian contribution.
n What type of research training is available in Australia?
Each of the universities that graduates PhDs by virtue of its PhD program provides research training. This means that the 9 universities currently enrolling LIS PhDs provide such training. However as evidenced by the PhDs with LIS subject material coming from non-LIS departments (Section 4.2), there are alternative avenues.
n What additional training should be available?
Practitioners who undertake research projects, may have recourse to continuing professional development (CPD) for particular techniques such as survey method or statistical analysis. It could be that these are added to the armoury of ALIA CPD in liaison with the universities. However we did not identify calls for such material during our analysis.
We did note that there were significant collaborative publications between academics and practitioners, which could well include a mentoring component. The extent of this collaboration may be investigated further from data contained in the Endnote files.
n How is Australian research in library and information studies currently funded or supported?
Section 5.2.1 with Appendix J, Section 5.2.2 with Appendix K and Section 5.2.3 with Appendix L provide an overview of grant information.
University staff may seek research funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Relatively few research grants have been awarded in the LIS area. Of those that have, many are shared across academic areas. In addition, the majority of LIS related research grants awarded have been led by academics outside LIS departments.
Other academic funding came from a wide range of sources. Among those reported were specific funds set up within a university to support research in that institution; teaching and learning grants; overseas agencies with which an academic had an association; Library organisations; commercial entities; and private benefactors.
Practitioner support to the extent that it was made explicit came from library organisations. However some practitioners would have had recourse to research support through academic avenues while completing higher degrees.
However, we feel that both academic and practitioner funding has been under-reported.
Additional support for research comes from workshops at conferences (some of the publications reported arise from such workshops), and from specialist conferences such as Research Applications in Information and Library Studies (RAILS), which has been supported by a succession of different universities.
48 ALIA LIS RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN REPORT
Some literature arising from specialist conferences has been included in the publications analysis, either as reports on conferences or as papers accepted for such conferences. However much of this material eludes the database aggregators unless it is also published in periodicals. It is information that may be publically available, but may be notified no further than attendees.
Although some papers from generalist conferences are reported in the scan, there is an impression that more collaborative work could be undertaken within the profession with respect to such conferences. This may be from mentoring with respect to research-oriented submissions; co-authorship; a generalist conference approach more sympathetic to research input through refereed papers; or collaborative workshops.
n What funding is currently available?
The sources itemised in Section 5 and related appendices give an indication of where LIS personnel have been successful in obtaining funding.
Further, the Australian competitive grants register provides links to opportunities for funding in higher education.
n What are opportunities and sources for future funding (eg fellowships, grants, philanthropy)?
In addition to that mentioned above, there are other government support programs such as through Australian Business Financing Centre government information and services.
There are numerous other options for financing of projects such as in the local government, health, and philanthropic areas. We are not aware of a public register of such options. However we are aware that universities maintain such registers for their own internal purposes. They include such approaches as compiled databases of available opportunities for grants, fellowships, prizes and other types of funding, across many disciplines. The universities also provide access to funding avenues databases that include philanthropic avenues such as the American Foundation Center.

applied research in the field of library and
information studies, as well as research
results in related disciplines will, in large
measure, shape library and information
services and the nature of the library
profession in the future. Statistics are a
necessary foundation for many kinds of
research, as well as for policy and planning.

† These journals covered by the database are excluded from coverage. Although they may reasonably be expected sometimes to include
material covered by the broad subject categorisation, perusal of multiple retrieved references showed material to be outside scope of the
categories. Any of these journals might reasonably include relevant material in future.
MERGING
All searches were downloaded into Endnote databases. These were merged with elimination of duplicates
Duplicate matching was problematic. Because of the wide diverge in representation of authors in the different databases, it was necessary to base duplicate matching on title/year only. This may have led to some inadvertent elimination of same titles with different authors, though scanning of duplicated material did not reveal any. Title matching itself was awkward, viz.:
Tees, T. (2010). “Ereaders in academic libraries - a literature review.” Australian Library Journal 59(4): 180-186.
Tees, T. (2010). “Ereaders in academic libraries -- a literature review.” Australian Library Journal 59(4): 180-186.
Tees, T. (2010). “Ereaders in academic libraries : a literature review.” Australian Library Journal 59(4): 180-186.
