Inferring Patterns and Themes
ACTIVITY 1
Direction: Read and analyze carefully the data given below from Nadel,
Moret, & Lore (2016). Identify the codes on this transcript.
CONTEXT:
o M: Moderator words are in BOLD
o P1: Participant 1; P2: Participant 2; P3: Participant 3; P4:
Participant 4 – All participants are K-12 librarians in public schools.
o in this focus group (4 participants), the moderator is facilitating talk
among a group of K-12 librarians as participants with a shared experience
M: This next set of questions is about the nature of the questions you
typically get in your work. Tell me about the types of questions you get
asked in your work as a librarian in your school community.
P1: What do you mean?
M: Are you more likely to get questions like, “How can I learn more about
this topic?” or do you get questions like, “Where can I find this specific
book?” What types of questions do you typically get?
P1: I get asked both. I think I sometimes get a bit more of when someone has
a particular title in mind, but often they don’t have the right title name.
P2: Yeah. I too get very generic and general questions that aren’t really specific
book titles, but general topic ideas.
P3: I get general questions too.
P1: But I will also have some kids ask me, “Where are your business books?
Or where are your books on medicine?” A student was saying the other day,
“My grandpa just got diagnosed with diabetes. Do you have any books on
diabetes?”
P4: Yeah, me too. Though some requests are general, I do have some that are
really quite specific. So both I guess…it just depends.
M: Thanks. What do the specific request questions sound like in
comparison to the general questions?
P3: Well, like, I’ll get asked about a book about teenage romance, and they
won’t know the title, they just know they want a book about teenage romance.
But several will ask for specific romance genres like something involving their
ethnic group or cultural group, like Latin love or Black girl groups being
entrepreneurial and successful. Things like that.
P2: Yeah, me too. And I get specific requests for types of animals or shells,
beach things or requests for books about specific countries or space.
P1: Yes, us too…lots of requests for international knowledge.
P4: Mmmmhhhhm.
M: How do you get these requests? Do your students prefer a hard copy
book, or do they want things accessible electronically, online?
P2: I get mostly requests for printed material, but that’s from my older
students. They seem to be used to receiving materials electronically. The
younger students still request mostly hard copies.
P1: And their parents too…
P2: Yes. Me too.
P4: …parents like hard copies too.
P3: Yes, the really young and the older like the hard copies. The high schoolers
want electronic access. Well, the freshmen learn to ask for electronic access.
P2: Yeah.
P1: But it also depends on what the student’s asking about. I mean, if it’s
sensitive material, then I notice they want it electronically.
M: How do you handle requests for information or resources that are
sensitive in nature? Maybe someone wants to inquire about sexual health
and well being for example. What do you do?
P2: I just let the general privacy rules apply here. If the student wants the
information, I want to make sure they have that information, and that
includes information that may be considered sensitive in nature. But sensitive
to who is relative. I don’t have a problem with informing students about their
sexual health and reproductive rights, but my principal might have a problem
with it and I know my district has a problem with it. But personally, that’s
how we got into this high teen pregnancy mess to begin with, no or bad
information. That’s just not right to do to young people.
P1: My principal would have my license.
P3: I’m torn somewhere in between.
P4: Sometimes you have to be quiet about what information you choose to
share with which patron. And you can sense what’s comfortable for some
students and what’s not for others. Same with adults too.
P2: Yes, you really can use body language to learn about who is feeling okay
with this information and who is ready to head back to their homeroom with
a book about animals having babies instead. It’s obvious by how students
react in their faces and bodies. Yeah, and adults too. It’s pretty telling.

1. The BareBone computer shop owner conducted research on possible

reasons on the decrease in number of customers renting in the shop.
Findings:
Based on the data shown, there are 2 main factors why old customers (regular
customers before) refrain from renting in the BareBone computer shop.
PRICE: The researcher found out that 85% of the customers chose the newly
opened computer shop with lower rent price.
AMBIANCE: The researcher found out that 89% of the customers don’t like
the place because of the lighting, old furniture, set of PC and ventilation.
