School of Information Faculty Members to Serve as Lead Instructors for Third Institute of Research Design in Librarianship | SJSU iSchool. The third Institute of Research Design in Librarianship (link is external) (IRDL), a partnership between the San José State University (SJSU) School of Information (iSchool), Loyola Marymount University (LMU) William H. Hannon Library, and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), has been announced, and applications (link is external) are now being accepted from academic and research librarians wishing to hone their skills as researchers.
Funded in part by a three-year grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, IRDL includes an intensive workshop from June 5 to June 17, 2016, where participants learn about research design from expert faculty members and write and revise their own research proposals, as well as mentoring and peer support in the year following the workshop. Dr. Lili Luo, an associate professor at the SJSU iSchool, and Dr. Scholars also reap great rewards from participation in IRDL.

In classification, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a class, identified as a means of differentiating it from other classes. As defined in FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), one of a set of characteristics enabling users of information to formulate queries and evaluate responses when searching for information about a specific entity.
Attributes can be inherent in the entity (physical characteristics, labeling information, etc.) or supplied by an external agent (assigned identifiers, contextual information, etc.). For example, the logical attributes of a creative work include its title, form, date of creation, intended audience, etc. As a general rule, a given instance of an entity exhibits a single value for each attribute, but multiple values are possible (a work may be published under more than one title or in more than one form), or a value may change over time (date of publication for serials).
