| Abstract | ||
| The Main Purpose of the Present study is to explore the trends of the research methods applied in the Master’s theses of library and information science in Tehran University during 1969-1999. The findings indicate that out of 436 defended theses 42.9% have applied library research and 37.1% have used survey method for their investigations, but the application trends of these two methods follows in time two opposite ways; that is, while the number of library research as a method comes down in time, the survey method goes up, so that in the last decade it becomes the dominant method. The variety of research methods mainly belongs to the more recent periods, whereas in the first decade only one or two methods were applied. The dominant research method in library and information science, as the previous and present studies confirm, is survey method in the first place. | ||
