We define the types of research that librarians perform, review the differences in publication behaviors of academics and practitioners, look at the scope of research in different types of library settings, and discuss the motivations for engaging in research, modes of dissemination of results, intended audiences, as well as training and support provided by library schools and institutions. Overall, most librarians are expected to engage in certain types of research as part of their job duties whether for publication or not, and the majority of them consist of practical research for assessment and improvement of services, programs, and workflows. %@ 978-3-319-94177-6
