Explanans

There follow nine posts that contain my dissertation which was handed in during August 2007 and fulfilled part of the requirements of the MA in Librarianship at Sheffield University

They are proceeded by various other posts that document some of the research that went into the dissertation. These earlier posts provide only the scantest record of this period because I ceased using the blog quite soon after starting it, partly because I became concerned about certain ethical issues to do with the privacy of the subjects of the research (which I have now got over), but mainly because of laziness.
