- This article is an introductory work to the qualitative research methodologies and methods aplied to the Library and Information Studies (LIS) field, as a way to expand the horizons of librarians so they might be able to explore different roads to improve the common telology of LIS which is basically to fuse the library (informational - cognitive) services with the needs and issues, wishes and dreams of society in its respective communities. It argues for the demystification of LIS research which is impregnated with an halo and cult almost mystical that far from motivating librarians both practical and teorethical to carry out research work in a daily basis, it plays an inhibitor role affecting not only the development of LIS research, but the LIS profession itself; this demystification implies that research could be for everyone who wants it to. It also argues that it is necessary to study in depth the epistemological debate in LIS to promote LIS research as a sub-discipline and the education and training of LIS researchers in order to transform such a plausible activity into an attractive one that becomes even a fun thing to do. [NB: History of publication of this article. [NB: History of the publication of this article. This was originally written on the 10th of May 2004. It was requested by Saul Armendariz Sanchez, the president of the Mexican Association of Librarians (AMBAC) of that time (2003-2005) to be published in the journal of such association, Liber. AMBAC's coordinator of publications of 2004, Carlos Curiel Rivera informed the author that this article should be published in Liber in the Vol. 6, No. 2, in June 2004. However such publishing never took place, 27 months later since its publishing must have taken place )(today is 26.07.2006) neither Saul Armendariz Sanchez, nor Carlos Curiel Rivera have delivered a copy of the article to the author in any format: paper, PDF, online URL in HTML or whatever with the collated pages of the Vol. 6, No. 2. A year later, in July 2005, the new president of AMBAC --for the period 2005-2007--, Felipe Becerril Torres informed the author that such Vol. 6 No. 2 issue of Liber was still waiting to be printed. But such president stepped down his charge as president of AMBAC due to illness on the 8th of May 2006, so this article was not published during his term. On the 18 of May 2006 Hortensia Lobato Reyes replaced Felipe Becerril Torres as new president of AMBAC and until today she has not informed the author if this article has been actually published. Recently it has been shown on the Website of AMBAC that the Vol. 6 with numbers 1 to 4 has been published (see: http://www.ambac.org.mx/publicaciones.htm), however this article of this author has not appeared anywhere on that site and when tracked on the databases which index Liber such bibliographic record does not exist either. Therefore, with the current evidences, it is a fact tha this article was never actually published by the 2003-2005 president of AMBAC Saul Armendariz Sanchez, as it was either published by the 2 subsequent AMBAC's presidents. And today 27 months later since suppossedly was published it is highly likely that never will be published by any Liber - AMBAC's officers. Thus, the Mexican Association of Librarians requested this article exprofesso for the celebration of AMBAC's 50th anniversary through its president in turn, Saul Armendariz Sanchez, it was approved by him and the Association's publications team and peers, they promised to be published on the Liber Vol. 6, No. 2, June 2004, but they never actually published it. Finally, this article has been fully published as it was originally written in 2004 by the Peruvian journal BiblioDocencia: Revista de Profesores de Bibliotecología (Library-Teaching: journal of faculty and lecturers of library and information science) in the Vol. 2, No. 12, quarter January-March 2006, pp. 4-12. And from now on it should be cited from this definitive 2006 bibliographic record. Note written by the author on the 26 July 2006, Sheffield, UK]
