And thank goodness for librarians!

But, late literacy, so much needed today, isn't clear to many, and its significance not even felt by many--the latest stats in Canada reveal this and you are doing the real good service in this direction. <br /><br />Re: primary and secondary research. You have a very interesting way of presenting the perspective on a primary source. I know you are familiar, but your audience who come here looking for the term 'primary sources' or 'primary research' need a little clue about the background. <br /><br />Diaries, are one form of primary resource for any research or study. We Librarians classify diaries and such original info as primary source. When people digest this info and create a summary / interpretation it becomes secondary, and a digest of digests become tertiary or (depending on the levels of input) quaternary. <br /><br />Isn't it funny that (information professionals, esp.) librarians have time, patience, motivation, and skills to name the process, at each stage: be it input, thruput or output. No kidding. Taxonomies, metadata, tags and the keywords are a big world today, but many don't know that librarians are trained both in school and in work to identify and standardize names, themes and so on. <br />Best wishes.M Taherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230356608624560148noreply@blogger.com
