To be honest with all of you, I love research. BUT I hate hate hate the very first step, and that step is to pick a topic to research. There is just too much I want to know about. Yet, at the same time I think it's better to not know. Crazy right? Well my focus as a librarian is public libraries with a concentration in youth services. I know my topic will revolve around public library service. I'm leaning towards looking into the effectiveness of storytimes to preschoolers, or where should a library direct its most attention to helping. It's a bit early for me to decide, but I know I must soon.
There is an old saying: ignorance is bliss! :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that sometimes it is better not to know. Yet, [and I get this from your comment reading between the lines] knowing may give us the power to make a difference--not a bad outcome?
