Abstract
In this edition of Research into Practice, its regular author, Carol A. Gordon, explores two research stories, one told by an historian, the other by a scientist. In doing so Gordon makes a case for the transferability of these scenarios to the practice of teacher librarians as they face the challenge of educating youth in the midst of a public health crisis.
