Session Description:
Learn about one high-impact learning experience: student participation in faculty research. Two librarians designed a collaborative research process for themselves and three students, investigating the reading experiences, abilities, habits, and preferences of students at an urban community college. Introducing new skills, tools, and concepts to novice researchers was key. Each step was slowed down, not just planning what to do next, but also discussing the whys and hows of research. This had a profound impact on researchers and research design. Most importantly, having members of the subject population invested in the research design process helped ensure reliability of research findings.
