This is an opportunity for a directed reading class focusing on the “One Book Nova Scotia” reading program. The reading class will consist of a research study with the following components:
1. Review of the research literature related to mass reading events;
2. Creation and analysis of an online survey of One Book Nova Scotia participants;
3. Analysis of social media posts related to One Book Nova Scotia;
4. Preparation of a report summarizing all findings;
5. Preparation of a poster summarizing the study.
This independent study project should be completed in the fall term. Interested students should read the INFO 6700 Reading Course information on the MLIS website.
