Abstract
AbstractBecause of the statistical nature of much information science research, a heuristic approach would frequently require much time consuming data collection. Although the student may gain little fresh insight into the system, problem, service, etc., under study, once the first few items of data have been examined, many more are required if the study is to have any statistical meaning. Experiments (equivalent to laboratory work in the sciences) should have their data collection part shared around the class and the students' collective results processed and discussed in a subsequent seminar. Sample experiments on edge punched cards, information content of titles, thesis literature, etc. are discussed.
