Online Book Clubs
Research problem
The thesis is "Public library online book clubs are sites of possibility- a medium through which libraries can readily encourage literate practices in younger generations." This is a very unclear statement because there was no problem stated. The purpose was unclear during the article.
Participants
The research article states that includes two metropolitan public library systems. Hennepin County Library in Minnesota, serves a population of 1.1 million residents. It is a comprised of 41 libraries are merging with nearby areas. This HCL was the only library system mentioned, but there were many different book clubs experiences.
Essential characteristics of thestudy methodology
The research is based on qualitative and quantitative methods. The number of online book club participants was large. Thoughts of the book clubs were also shared from before-and-after book club surveys. This being said there was a lot of information about online book clubs and technology used, but no concise evidence of encourgaing literate practices in our younger generations.
This manuscript offers theoretical grounding and rich, practical details so that other libraries can capitalize and create their own online book clubs." is the implication the writer offers. This research does offer detail other libraries can use to help start online book clubs, but again it does not coincide with the thesis statement.
Results
Based on the thesis statement, the research findings are supposed to reveal if online book clubs facilitated by public libraries are encouraging literate practices in adolescents. The much of research discussed trial-and-error approaches to online books clubs rather than adolescent encouragement. One finding is that preteens a more willing to participate than teens. I do not think that is was tested properly. The information was not clear and concise. The Thesis was not properly stated and the research was not aligned.
Implications or Applications
Conclusions
The conclusion is filled with information about how the library system will continue working and providing online book clubs. It does not include any actual findings on how book clubs might encourage adolescents. The findings where neither statistically or practically significant.e. I was very dissapointed in this article.
