From Personal to Groups: Using EgoWeb to Map the Change in Librarian Research Networks

AbstractThis presentation discusses methods for collecting, processing, analyzing and visualizing social networks using the software EgoWeb. EgoWeb is freely available, open source, web-based software that facilitates the collection of social network data through interviews. These interviews involve participants listing network contacts, responding to questions about each of the contacts, and evaluating the ties among contacts. This provides raw data for personal network analysis. Personal network data can also be aggregated to represent the extended networks of a group of people who share common network ties. The presentation will discuss considerations for each of these steps including how to use EgoWeb to best collect and process these data.
The methods and software will be illustrated with a project analyzing the personal networks of novice librarian researcher participants of the first and second years of the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL). IRDL is designed to provide instruction in how to conduct a research project and establish a peer-network of like-minded librarians to support each other throughout the research process. The IRDL program is using personal network collected with EgoWeb to evaluate the impact of the institute on participants’ research networks. The presentation will illustrate the value, as well as challenges, of combining the personal networks of participants to assess how the research networks of IRDL participants form and evolve over time.

How does the personal network of
a novice librarian researcher evolve on their path to becoming
a more advanced researcher?

Primary Research Question

Extended Research Questions
• Is there a wider network of librarian researchers impacted by IRDL?
• Or are there just 25 separate networks?
• Are changes in the network sustained after institute has concluded?

Brief Overview: EgoCentric Data
•EgoCentric / Personal Networks – Each person (“ego”) is the center of their own network
• Each ego identifies who is in their network (“alters”)• Who these people are and how they are connected to
each other is based solely on respondents’ cognitions about the network
•EgoCentric / Personal Networks – Each person (“ego”) is the center of their own network
• Each ego identifies who is in their network (“alters”)• Who these people are and how they are connected to
each other is based solely on respondents’ cognitions about the network

Software tools customized for Ego-Centric Data Collection are Key
•Reduce data collection burden– High respondent, interviewer, and programming
burden
•EgoWeb 2.0 – the goal is to reduce data collection and processing burden
– Enable non-network researchers and non-programmers to collect and analyze social network data
