Abstract

Mixed methods research combines qualitative and quantitative research approaches to describe multiple realities. After identifying a research problem and concluding that it can be comprehensively addressed by collecting quantitative and qualitative data concurrently or in phases, a researcher may choose to either use simple or advanced mixed methods designs. Studies have demonstrated that mixed methods research is not commonplace in library and information science research. The two-eyed seeing principles are given as an example of how indigenous theories and knowledge systems can be combined with Anglo-Saxon philosophical assumptions that dominate the mixed methods research movement to facilitate the production of knowledge that is contextually relevant and useful to the indigenous environment.
