Research
It is unfortunate that we work on a research paper for months, only for it to be read by one person, and then forgotten about. Thanks to the internet that is no longer the case. Here you can check out some research done by some USF SLIS students. Feel free to tell them what you think about it. If you are interested in submitting some research of your own click on the research link in the left sidebar. I certainly don't want to deter faculty from posting research to this site. Any research postings from faculty would be a great opportunity for students to be inspired by professional quality research.

The Green Age of Libraries
Fri, 12/21/2007 - 00:47 — martyr13
In this paper I explore the emerging trend of green design in library building. Using a wide variety of sources from the fields of LIS, architecture, and environmental science, I discover that there are a number of reasons why this trend is gaining momentum. I first define green building. Then I examine a number of case studies to see how green building strategies have been implemented in a real world setting. Finally, I explain why this movement has become so popular, and why it will be one of the defining issues in the LIS field in the 21st century.
