Abstract | More and more the library and information science (LIS) practitioner is being called upon to incorporate research into their professional practice. This paper presents a critical review of relevant literature documenting LIS practitioners’ experience with research. The paper explores the level of practitioner engagement with research, types of research activity, and the barriers and enablers to practitioner engagement in research as documented over the past two decades. This review reveals that there is considerable interest in supporting LIS practitioner-conducted research. A number of activities and initiatives in Australia and internationally are enhancing relationships between LIS research and practice. |
