1).USE OF LIBRARY
The educational research studies can be classified in to two
categories: library research and field research. Philosophical and historical
research is known as library research in which it is called as method or
research. The survey and experimental research are the field research in which
it is called as technique research. In both the type library is used
extensively. Following facilities should be available in the good libraries:
Typing facilities at very nominal charges.
They should make use of photo state facilities
for maps, charts, diagrams, or table. It should be available at minimum
charges.
Another very satisfactory procedure is to
dictate notes directly from the references in to a portable tape-recorder
There is inter library loan should be provided.
The research scholar can request the librarian for references or unpublished
thesis from other university library.
Precaution which should be taken in library use
is the following:
Avoid intellectual dishonesty and guard against
the temptation of appropriating large portions of the work of another, without
acknowledging indebtedness.
Guard against being conditioned by the view
point of an earlier investigators and temptation of blindly following the
procedure.
In certain cases some studies have no needed to
be repeated under similar condition in order to check on the result of the
first investigation.
Keep touch with current developments regularly.
In the chapter of the research report all the
data including year of the research must be provided
Previous study should be arranged in the
chronological order so growth of the field can be known to all.
A researcher should have good grasp of library procedures which will
help him to locate books and references needed by him without wasting most of
the time and energy
