I'm not gone...

To my valued readers,

I am conducting research as part of a work-based doctorate, and in order to preserve some semblance of order and sanity, I have decided not to write here for the period of my study.

What will be interesting is how different/similar my posts may be when I get back...

Anyway, if you're interested in following my research ramblings, they can be found at: Tegan the Librarian

If I feel like it, I may write here about stuff which is entirely not appropriate for my studies, but I'm not promising anything.

Love you,

Tegalex

The nature of research...

What do we mean by research?

In my case, it is an attempt to understand, explore, and perhaps explain, a situation, problem, event, or phenomena. I think I want to understand something more clearly so that I can create change, or at the very least, make more futures possible.

The more I read, the more I realise that research means something different to everyone. Some people are trying to find truth, some are seeking knowledge, some are trying to find solutions to very real problems. 

It seems obvious, but the only thing all research has in common is that it asks a question.
