  • 摘要:One afternoon in July 1978 I was sitting at a pavement table outside a café on the Boulevard St Michel in Paris. This may sound like a ‘What I did on my holidays’ story, but in fact I was working on a small qualitative research project. Earlier that afternoon I had done an interview with a scholar just around the corner in the Sorbonne. I had not taped the interview, and had only scribbled a few words and names into my notebook whilst it was in progress. What I was doing in the café was writing up an account of the interview (on paper in those pre-laptop days). Whether this was the first interview I had done in this way I can’t remember, but I do know that I was very happy with the results that my simple technique produced. It certainly wasn’t what the contemporary manuals on research technique advised, but I found that it worked. In what follows I shall offer some thoughts about LIS research methods from the perspective of someone who has much more faith in the qualitative than the quantitative, and who believes that the imaginative devising and matching of methods to circumstances in the field is a skill that should be encouraged. Since you will find that I concentrate very much on the downside of LIS research in this little paper, I should say at the outset that I do encounter a great deal of very good output from all sorts of sources, but that’s not really what I will write about here.
