• Evaluate how well the research has been conducted according to the method and approach of the research.
• Assess how useful each of the research articles is for practical decision-making in information organisations that service immigrant populations.
The emphasis is on understanding and evaluating what type of research is presented in the article and how much can be learned from the research in the article that would be of practical use to a library trying to understand the information needs of immigrants. The emphasis is not on how much you know about the subject of the articles.
