Library Research Report Assignment.
Length:
400-600 words. 4-6 entries; about 60-120 words per source .
Purpose/goals of the assignment:
develop your ability to conduct scholarly research and relate the results of this research to a specific inquiry
develop your ability to translate specialist information into non-specialist language
draft building blocks for the final report
practice APA citation style (or MLA if you are majoring in a humanities field)
Assignment Introduction:
Answering a research question involves seeking out and processing information that helps you answer that question. This is true whether you are researching insurance plans or conducting academic research. In developing the Library Research Report, you will seek out scholarly articles relevant to your research question, extracting ideas from them that you will later synthesize into a final report (i.e., the final version of your project) and an answer–however tentative–to your research question.
On its face, the library research report may seem to resemble what is sometimes called an “annotated bibliography.” Please note, however, that your goal in developing this report is not simply to summarize sources. As you write your summaries, you will be producing “building blocks” for the first draft of your Research Project . This means that you should be summarizing only content that is directly relevant to your research question. Your writing should also be clear and accessible to non-specialist readers.
A carefully constructed Library Research Report will significantly lighten your workload when you reach Week 3, since you’ll be able to construct your draft from writing you’ve already completed rather than producing an entirely new document.
Assignment Specifications
Your finished Library Research Report should include:
◻Your name at the top of the document. (You can follow strict APA if you’d like and include a separate title page, but this is not required.)
◻Your research question (at the top of the report)
◻Complete and correct citations for 4-6 scholarly/peer-reviewed journal articles accessed through NU Library databases
◻A 60-120 word paragraph on each source that answers the following questions:
WHO?
Who stands behind the information? Your entry should identify (quickly and concisely) the background/credentials that connect the article’s author/s to the topic. (See the Week 2 reading on identifying scholarly sources for guidance and examples: https://info260.hcommons.org/identifying-sources-ii/ )
WHAT?
Identify a claim (or claims) presented in the article that is relevant to your inquiry. (Remember, your task is not to summarize the entire article, but to summarize the article content that is relevant for your own inquiry. In some cases, of course, the entire article may be directly relevant to your project.)
HOW?
How is the claim supported? How do the authors back up the claim? (Don’t go nuts here and summarize every detail of the methodology. Instead, strive for the kind of concise, general summary one might find in a news account of recent research findings.)
SO WHAT?
What is the relevance of the claim for your inquiry? (Sometimes you’ll be able to express the “what” and “so what” at the same time, in which case you shouldn’t try to artificially separate them. Just make sure that your paragraph addresses all of the categories–WHO, WHAT, HOW, and SO WHAT? And remember that your answer to the “so what?” question should point to your own research inquiry.)

Research Proposal
Please apply the concepts you have learned for this final assignment. Use APA format to write an 10-12 page paper (Word Doc or Docx format please) (that being said, I don’t count pages, just if the content meets the assignment/rubric requirements as scholarly writing should be succinct anyway), including title page and reference page. Bold key terms from the book in your paper.
First, choose a topic that you are interested in researching now or in the future. Be sure that research methods are needed to solve the problem/topic you choose. Your topic should be of interest to not only you but also other professionals. If Job Satisfaction is a genuine topic of interest for you, you should choose this topic; however, you must also provide a paper that reflects additional critical thinking and research beyond what was covered during the quarter.
Once you choose a topic, please write a paper that addresses the following:
Part 1: Topic of the research is Job Satisfaction. Why you chose the topic?
Part 2: What is the problem that requires additional data to better understand? How would the research apply at your place of work or in some other aspect of your life?
Part 3: What are your research questions? A minimum of three (3) questions is required.
The questions should address what do you want to know as well as solve the stated problem. (Will the answers to the questions solve the stated problem? At this stage, you should also ask yourself how knowing the answers to the questions will promote growth within your community or organization?)
Part 4: What does the literature tell you about this topic?
6 scholarly articles are required.
Summarize the current state of research (what you found).
Cite the articles using APA format.
Part 5: Based on your preliminary literature search, what samples or data would you need to collect to reliably answer your research questions?
Describe your sampling technique/data acquisition methodology along with areas for possible bias.
Remember to consider your sampling method and size and be sure to provide detail regarding your technique. For example, if you intend to survey a population, what specific survey questions will you ask? How many people must you survey in order to obtain a representative (i.e. reliable and valid) data set?
Part 6: Discuss at least three (3) valid methods you would use to properly interpret the data you would receive from part 4.
Describe how you will convince the research and/or business community that your study is reliable, valid and useful/impactful.
Use terms from the book; please use boldface the key terms.
Part 7: How would you communicate your research results to 1) an academic (scholarly) audience and 2) a general audience?
Give at least 2 specific examples for each type of audience.
