Strategies for Conducting Literary Research, 2e
Abstract
This book walks you through the process of conducting literary research while helping to refine your library skills. Along the way, we will draw from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Framework. According to the ACRL, “Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers lead to additional questions or lines of inquiry in any field.” We will discuss this concept more in-depth throughout the book. The book will also focus on a research project created by Jada, an English major who conducted a literary study of James Baldwin’s classic short story, “Sonny’s Blues.” We will be discussing research about “Sonny’s Blues” throughout this course, though we will discuss how to transfer these lessons to research about other literary works.
