Abstract	This article highlights various literature covering a broad range of topics that are of interest to public services librarians, from collections and user services to one's own research and professional development. Although addressing many topics, these authors have all used or advocate for solid research methods and data analysis in their works, which can serve as inspiration for potential projects.

"College and Research Libraries," 68, no. 4, 343-351; (2) Littleton, D. (2007). "Navigating pitfalls of Web-based survey development and administration."
