Gordon:
Here are a few elements to accompany the audiofiles.

Read first: 

Gordon, C. (2007). The trouble with the gold standard: School libraries and research. School Library Journal.  Available: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6484334.html

I made a brief commentary on this article.  It’s in two parts, of about five minutes each:

1. Gordon Commentary
2. Gordon pt 2

To access, go to WebCt/6900/Audio. Theoretically, you should be able to click on them and they will play easily.

In my commentary, I refer to these:

What is Research?  http://it.coe.uga.edu/%7Emfitzger/6900/what-is-research.html

and specifically the Types of Research taxonomy embedded in that page:
