Qualitative research seeks to understand a particular social phenomenon in its natural
setting. For our purposes, the social phenomena to be studied are those occurring
within the context of information services. The objectives of qualitative research are to
discover, describe and analyse the complexities of common phenomena through
observation and involvement in a research setting. It is the role of the qualitative
researcher to scrutinize commonplace occurrences because,when observed for prolonged
periods, common phenomena can reveal remarkable levels of complexity. For example,
in an archive a user is seated at a terminal but gazing out the window - a common
enough phenomenon. Is he thinking through the significance of the records he has just
retrieved, or is he planning a more detailed search strategy ? Is he perhaps wondering
why he has so far failed to retrieve anything of value, and what he can be doing wrong ?
Perhaps he is waiting for assistance from one of the archivists, or he may be simply
bored with his research and thinking about taking a break.
